I ordered mine USB-less ($150 cheaper!) and toslink was my only solution as my computer only has that. I love mine, no issues whatsoever, and I leave mine powered up constantly too. This thing brought my computer files to an entirely higher level, and I couldn't be happier. No sibilant issues, and I even play my vinyl through it. I go from my receiver to my computer, it's running at 24/192, so the bifrost sees that extended bitrate and operates at that native frequency. My computer audio was already great due to being able to select 24/192 natively with the Realtek high definition audio player in my Gateway PC. It's only that much better with the schiit in place. That was the best addition to my computer audio set-up, bar none. After a couple system tweaks to improve performance (switching off the graphics, ripping out unused programs and turning off some that were not being used but running behind the scenes), I was pleasantly surprised at what a difference it made. I'd try all of that if I wanted better performance and didn't want to make the computer audio-specific.
