Give Audirvana a test on that windows 10 box with some Qobuz high res and you will be very pleased. Whole new level of improvement.
Well, I finally replaced Toslink with USB ...and I'm glad I did...
I just went USB from my Windows laptop to the back of my DAC amp and I must say, the sound blows me away.
I have a newer Dell laptop with a solid-state drive, running Windows 10. It's fast and all I had to do is load the driver for my DAC amp and I was in business.
USB A to USB B. No complaints. Great sound.
My rig: Dell Laptop with USB into a Teac AI 101-DA DAC integrated amp, out to Sony bookshelf speakers. Also, using a Panamax line conditioner. YouTube Music Premium subscription.
Total investment...under $1000.
