I don't know what DECWARE does to the TASCAM DA-3000, but it is definitely an excellent DAC and digital recorder. I've owned the TASCAM DA-3000 for more than a year and it has the best sounding DAC I've ever heard. It also makes excellent DSD copies of my vinyl records.
On the other hand, I really like my April Music Stello U3 USB bridge. It allows me to connect my computer to my TASCAM DA-3000 for streaming digital from Foobar2000. Unfortunately, the Stello U3 is no longer being produced so I'm glad I got one when I did. It reclocks the data and converts USB from my computer into S/PDIF and AES/EBU. It's great to take with me when I visit friends so I can plug me computer into their DAC without worrying about having their specific USB driver. It allows me to take my digital music with me when I visit friends.
Best regards,
John Elison

If your computer had SPDIF out and you did not need the Stello as a "bridge" between the Tascam, would you use it anyway?

No, I probably wouldn't use the Stello U3 with my DA-3000 if my computer could be connected directly unless the U3's reclocking function made the music sound better. I bought the Stello U3 long before I bought the DA-3000 because I had a DAC with a USB input that was limited to 16/48 yet the DAC was capable of 24/96 via its S/PDIF input. Then I got a DAC with a 24/192 USB capability so I quit using the Stello U3. However, when I bought the TASCAM DA-3000 I found a new use for the Stello U3. It really comes in handy for certain applications.Anyway, why do you ask?

Yes, I'm guessing that experimentation is key.
