Why not just get a decent soundcard to put in your computer that outputs AES like the Lynx AES16?
Experience with the USB to AES
If any one has experience with the USB to AES "Matchbox" from Henry Engineering, please share your thoughts? Link for product: www.henryeng.com/usbaesmb.html
Looks like Henry Engineering is primarily a pro audio company but the Matchbox seems like it could be used in PC audio applications where one wants to connect to a non-USB DAC via traditional AES EBU digital connections (either thru balanced or unbalanced connections). It also looks like the unit has onboard DAC with analog outs, but I would be more interested in this as a USB to AES EBU converter only and using an audiophile grade outboard DAC via digital outs from the unit.
Any experience with or feedback regarding this unit would be much appreciated. Looks like pricing is $200. Thx.
