Digital Out vs. USB

When using the digital out on a soundcard allow the card to process the signal in any way? Or are you getting the same data stream that would come from USB.

I am wanting to run FLAC files from Foobar straight out to the DAC. If I can skip the USB and use the digital out I can greatly increase my options with regard to DACs.

You might want to take a look at the HagUSB. It's what I use, after years of searching. I use it with several DACs and can very highly recommend it. It sells for $120.00 from Hagerman Tech. www.hagtech.com

1. Small
2. USB Powered
3. USB to SPDIF Coaxial
4. Bit-For-Bit

Hope this helps! Thanks!
