There are quite a few internal USB to S/PDIF converters available....I am audiitioning the Taralab X2-M at this time. The X2-M does require its own power source, so I take the taps from the power transformer and add an additional transformer for the digital power supply. Works out quite nicely actually. Another external option is the Logitech Duet. Throw out the wallwart power supply and with a few cap upgrades it sounds truly excellent.

For Windows users, J River seems to be the best software, followed by the free Foobar. I'll be doing more work on computer stored hi-def music over the next few months if anyone is interested.

Until next time... enjoy the music.

The upgrade from the DAC 2.1 to 3.1 is great, however the DAC 2.1 can be enhanced with cost effective mods bringing it very close to the 3.1 in performance.
