In Reply to: USB to I2S options? posted by demian on January 27, 2006 at 04:43:31:
If you have a decent DAC that supports I2S input, here's a really affordable USB-I2S solution. I recently added this to my DAC and except for volume control issues (the PCM2707 USB chip is not very happy with ASIO and I have yet to make anything come from it with kernelstreaming), as well as ground loop issues in my building, I have been able to achieve the absolutely highest quality playback from my system so far. I also own an M-Audio Audiophile USB and a modded Transit, but since both of these go to SPDIF, they are in the parts box now. No comparison.the actual DAC on that board is "ok" but I wouldn't want to call it audiophile. The key of that USB-I2S board is that it creates the direct interface between PC transport and a high end DAC.
Gonna have to build it more or less from scratch, though - except the SMD components are already on the board.
