Very likely but if it is really that good ...
What is amazing is that today is possible to find good 2nd laptop for 150 USD ... with the addition of a nice little SSD and SW the source is almost ready. And also extremely flexible and reliable.
However the Usb connection can be a problem.
When i read about the importance of the cable, the impact of the length, the need of isolation and reclocking ... i really start to doubt that it is the right standard for the purpose.
But i am not an expert.
Kind regards.

I totally agree with you.....
My Universal Player only has a SPDIF/COAX input and I love its sound and can't afford to get rid of it. I also can't afford a Signature Rendu, - so I'm going to convert USB to SPDIF with this....

I know it. Are you using it ?
sorry if i missed it but how it is connected to your pc ?
any isolator/usb power supply/regenerator in between ?

Hiya....
It arrived today, - got a metal "project box." I'll drill two holes in either side for the female USB input and the other side for the COAX.
It'll just sandwich in between the microRendu and my Universal player.
Cheers,

Hi !
i do not want to stress you but what is the "Universal Player" ?
I have found instead info about this ...
http://www.microrendu.sonore.us/

Hi,
My system is a tubed APL Universal player that plays DVD-A, DVD-V, SACD, redbook CDs, etc. It has a built-in "H-attenuator" so it's a limited pre-amp as it has a SPDIF coax digital input on the back.
Other universal players are the Sony, Oppo, Yamaha, all made players that do DVD, SACD, CD etc.... S
So, - I need an external USB to SPDIF converter that will be the F-1 XMOS XU208 "bridge." The microRendu will replace the Mac Mini and and will run LMS, Roon, MiniMserver....
I was using a HiFace USB to SPDIF converter previously.

Hi and thanks a lot again for the kind reply
Nice thing to have a digital input on the player.
There are some integrated sources that have excellent DA stage.
But usually only digital outs are provided.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
