Hi i was mentioning what i understand a good converter should provide:
1) isolation from the pc power (i.e. it must have an independent low noise power supply)
2) a spdif signal with a stable clock.
For point 1) that can also be achieved cheaply with a usb power supply and a suitable cable, like the Teradak U9 i have.
Point 2) is much more tricky.
Only expensive units seem to satisfy point 2).
It is like the old discussion about good and bad transports.
The good ones were rare and expensive, with some cheap exception like some particular dvd players or br players.
I am looking for an exception among converters.
I think also another thing. A very good converter is good independently from the "feed" quality.
Just a decent pc shoud be enough for very good sound.
I do not have the evidence because no one would ever mate a 2-3000 USD converter with a 200 USD pc.
Maybe the opposite ?
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
bg
