I would never trust this little plastic toy to tranparently convert USB to SPDIF because it will probably infect the output with all the USB power noise if nothing else.

GUTBThere really isn't much to convert. It is digital->digital. You are relying on whatever device is hooked in through SPDIF to convert to an analog signal. If this contained a DAC they would likely charge more.

jjnistThey actually make one that includes a DAC and it's the same price. I can't speak for the quality or value of these products but you can, in fact, buy their "dragonfly-type" DAC for the same price (MSRP).

squarlrusDefinitely. It is actually quite nice for 100. But I can never see them offering it for 19.99.

GUTBSPDIF can never transfer noise of anytime... its pure digital. Its a flash of bits that are read through light... Your dac will decode this. Its not a bad deal at all..

Nickslife89By noise I'm referring to noise being introduced through the USB connection, not noise in an analogue audio signal. USB noise can and will be transmitted through anything that's not an optical link. Basic USB transport from a PC with a standard USB cable and no galvanic isolation will result in significant degradation of audio.
