In Reply to: Which is better format sonically: USB or S/DIF? posted by David Shapiro on March 28, 2007 at 18:50:53:
Depends on whether you get a ground loop or not.Some USB DAC's don't have galvanic isolation between the USB cable and the DAC, which in some cases causes some serious ground loop issues in the digital domain.
In this case, an optical S/PDIF connection will outperform it by far.
