What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why?


I have an iFi Zen Stream and am considering using a digital to digital converter to convert the iFi's USB to i2s into the May Holo DAC.

I guess the question that arises is if this approach is sonically better than USB directly into the DAC.

So, who can offer some advice based on personal experience?  Yes, I do realize that your DAC and streamer differ from mine.

I have the Dinafrips Hermes with I2s into the Venus II DAC. With the Hermes installed 2 things stand out. The soundstage is 20% (estimated) larger wide and deeper and the Bass has much better refinement and definition.
