Re: USB output question

You can use an airport express to wirelessly stream your music to the dac via toslink. (this is what I do right now with my Trivista DAC and it sounds pretty sweet), or any other usb-to-toslink or usb-to-spdif convertor if you don't need wireless.

However, AFAIK, you will lose any usb-audio advantage in the conversion. It will be just like any other toslink or spdif transport (perhaps a bit less jitter coming from a hard disk). The get the full benefit from usb audio, the only option I know of is to get your dac modded to put a usb2 (preferably) interface directly into the dac itself, so no conversion takes place (or get another dac, such as a twindac).
