This thread is old, but I just wanted to state the problem of not being happy with the sound is gone now because of extra break in time using the USB port (opposed to digital coax-in).
Firewire to Balanced XLR Bridge
I've got a very nice Audio Research DAC (DAC7), but am not happy with the sound via USB input via PC.
Coax input from my Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD to the DAC7 sounds fantastic!
So I would still like to keep my ripped CD's (.wav) and download Hi-Res files to playback through my DAC7, but the DAC7 has a limitation of 16/48.
My question is, what can I buy that uses Firewire as the source input and has a balanced output and also handles 24/192? If nothing exists that has balanced out, the next best for me would be firewire in and coax out.
Product suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Joel
