USB audio is still shakey, I owned a cosecant for about a year and thought the $500 apogee duet bested it. The wavelength did not have low or tight bass and was restricted in the upper frequencies. Additionally one of the transformers was wired incorrectly. I discovered this after having no center image and reversing one speaker wire +/-. I called Gordon who could not figure out how this could be possible. So I popped the bottom cover to discover one set of transformer output wires were wired in reverse. A quick resolder and all was well, I did sell it as I thought it was not to my ears a great dac. Others love this unit but other than a nice midrange there is not alot there.
A mac mini optical out to a decent dac had produced better results in my system.
