Aaahhhh. I get it. That helps. That's the difference between synchronous and asynchronous. I don't have a USB DAC. I know I can get one, but do really like the DACs I have now.If the S/PDIF outputs from the motherboard (what exactly is this chain? hard drive or optical drive to ? to ? to ?), what does the USB output from?
Okay, so I can though use a USB converter to convert an asynchronous USB signal to either S/PDIF or coax? Those're pretty much my input choices. Any recommendations for a converter?
What happens if I run a computer S/PDIF signal into a jitter filter, like a Monarchy DIP 24/96 or Audio Alchemy DTI Pro32? Will I get the signal cleaned up to then send to the DAC?
Thanks.
