INteresting that you mentioned Hagerman. I recently purchased a HagUSB to use in conjunction with my Beresford TC-7520 with OpAmp upgrade. The Beresford sounded excellent with straight USB input and my computer allowed me to increase the output signal to the DVD (48kHz) signal. I purchased and added in the HagUSB assuming that upgrading the USB input to an S/PDIF format would further improve the sound quality. Frankly, I have been disappointed. Yes, it still sounds good, great even. But, probably an anomoly of Vista 64-bit system, with the HagUSB module in place, I am restricted to the straight CD (44.1kHz) signal. I am giving it all time to burn in, but thus far, I am frankly disappointed. If I do not perceive some improvement after a reasonable burn-in, I will simply switch back to USB input.
Also unfortunate, my desktop has a TOSlink output I just cannot get to work no matter what I have tried. Suggestions?
