Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

DACs using SPDIF are broken by design

So is usb, judging from the errors you and I have found, and from the cheapish clocks chips used in many usb audio converters.

I have evidence that the Wave IO, which uses NDK low jitter clock chips fed from an external power source and not the usual cheaper usb powered arrangement, sounds better or at least as good from the spdif output as direct usb input into the W4S DSDSe and Mytek DSD which you use.

So, until you have actually investigated this, please do not propagate the web make such a sweeping and false statement.
