Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Question on S/PDIF input

If the Mac Mini will take an S/PDIF input (which is streaming in) and turn it into a USB output (that is fed out asynchronously as requested by the DAC), it seems to me that the computer must be buffering the data. This would lead to a latency that may or may not cause problems, especially with video.

Am I missing something here? If not, do you have any idea what the latency is?
