Is USB overrated as decent digital source?



Some of the USB DACs or USB-SPDIF converters are really expensive, are they really worth the price?

I sold my fully modded SB2 after 6 months a bought a CEC TL-1 transport for my EAD 7000 III DAC, couldnt be happier, the sound from the CEC is miles away better than the Modded Squeezebox2 into the DAC, the SB2 directly to amps did nothing...

I still have to try out the Wavelenght, but since I am using a passsive preamp the Brick wont do (so I hear) so I will need to splash ot some good cash....

I am afraid of cheaper options now, but I am listening, I have most of my CDs now on WAV files and I really love the availability of music through the computer.
