RE: Basics of hi-rez computer audio

There are two interfaces that allow you to play hi-res as well as DSD right now:

1) Async USB
2) Network Renderer - wired Ethernet

These can be on outboard "converters" that feed a DAC with S/PDIF, AES or I2S or they can be integrated into the DAC. Generally better to be integrated, but not always.

The performance of either is all over the map. You don't necessarily get the best performance spending the most money either (as in all audio).
