I have used various USB converters between my Macbook Pro and Audio-GD Master 7 dac
Ihave used the Breeze, Gustard 12 and the Melodious.
The melodious has been my favorite improving the sound as opposed to using the USB inpute of the Master 7. All 3 of these dacs use the XMOS 8 converter chip.
Now XMOS has a new much faster chip called the 2Xmos 208 chip.
The Sinhzer SU-1 is the first converter to use this chip. I am currently going from the chip to the Master 7 using digital cable with BNC connectors. I will eventually use the I2S hdmi connection once I receive an adaptor. This is supposed to be the best sounding way to go using a short HDMI cable
The sound of this converter is stunning. Bass definition is the best I have heard. The resolution and transparency is outstanding. It stays clean no matter how lod you play it. Very analog sounding.
It sells for $399 from the folling distributor and ships right hear in the USA
