USB to SPDIF Converters


There are many on the market now.I have a Hag USB .I would like to hear your experiences with these devices.I would like to upgrade soon,to include Hi Rez downloads ,which means getting a different DAC and converter .

The Computer Audiophile does not like the M2Tech .He wrote a piece and did not seem to care for it.I am getting decent sound now ,so Im not in a big hurry.I want to gather as much knowledge and info as I can .Some of the converters are so new not many folks have written anything about them yet.I do know that I want the ability to play Hi rez .My DAC is a BelCanto DAC 2.
Dtc ,There does seem to be many happy M2Tech owners,with upgrades is even better as Ts0711 and you have mentioned.The Halide Bridge sounds intesting too.Many have entered the market in a short time.Someone said they notice no ,or little improvement going above 24/96.The availible sample rates are getting very high.
Hey Guys,Thanks for your responses.I recieved my MF V-Link today.On sale for
99.00 ,I figured why not! I planned to wait a while to digest all the info,food for
thought,,,but,,I was anxious to hear 96K audio.I have not listened enough to
form any serious thoughts on the V-Link or 96K,88K yet.I do not hear anything I
dislike.I will give it a few days to settle in.I have been happy with my BelCanto
DAC 2.Ive only had a DAC1 to compare it to. I will buy another DAC,but I am not
in a hurry to do so.As I would like to upgrade my poweramp too.And my system
sounds pretty good now.I feel I need to do more research ,speaking with others
,and reading,listening to other systems when I can.I know a computer will be a
part of my system,I use an Imac that is used for things other than audio.I will get
a Mini Mac for audio only.Some of the newer DACs have a USB connection,so a
converter is not needed,but there are so many nice DACs that do not .Im sure as
time goes on, some of the newer converters,DACs will fall by the wayside and
others will shine.I think the next year will be fun!
Well more than a year has passed ,and I still have my 1st gen V-Link.I enjoy the SQ ,and I understand that for more money I can have better.There are times I do not think of upgrading,just enjoying the music .And that is fine,but there is also times when I know I could have better SQ for more money.For now I will stay where Im at.For financial reasons as well as waiting to see what the next 6 months or so brings.
