In Reply to: The Trends UD-10.1 is actually VERY good.( for the price)... posted by Audio Pharaoh on February 26, 2008 at 13:50:30:
How strange!
You seem to be saying that you bought a USB DAC but don't take advantage of its USB input. Instead you prefer to do a USB to SPDIF conversion using the cheapo Trends unit. This is surely bonkers! You are adding an additional unit with its power supply, extra cable, etc. to achieve your simple objective of converting the output of a PC to an analogue signal.
The logical solution is surely to get a single, well designed unit to do this job. And while you're at it, why not get one with a variable output (remotely controlled) so you don't need a preamp? You're now looking at something like a Bel Canto DAC3. OK it's $2500 but you have saved tons on all the other componants and cables. It is a so much "purer" solution.
Or have I missed something?
