I have a great USB source from an Innuos Statement. I added a Denafrips DDC to I2S and also found significant improvements over the Statements USB.
Also the I2S cable matters.

Streamer or DDC
Question from a digital newbie, I purchased a dac with I2S input and I keep hearing and reading that the I2S connection sounds better than USB. I was considering moving to a streamer to lower any PC noise interference but now I am wondering if using my MacBook --->DDC---> dac will give me the same results as streamer with I2S---> dac. I am sure many Agoner have much more experience than me in the digital music field and I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you and stay safe!
