RGA,The Audio Note *kit* DAC offers USB input, which is actually the Hagerman USB converter. Despite the considerable opportunity, Peter does not like the sound from any USB input he has heard so it is notably absent from any of the factory-built DACs.
It certainly is a compelling option from the standpoint of convenience, though. I work from home in an office downstairs where I currently feed (any of over 1,000 songs)via iTunes & Airport Express through an M3, Kit4 and a pair of E's. The CD's and LP's are all upstairs in the living room and while they sound far better when I'm up there in the evening, they lose quite a lot filtered through the carpet and floor!
I haven't heard the kit DAC w/USB, although I'd like to, and I doubt that any of the dealers have either since they don't sell the kits.
Keep your ears and your mind open.
