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.

Also added a new modded network switch, USB cable, and ethernet cables. The sound was 'jaw dropping,' At some stage will evaluate on its own, but as part of a whole, brilliant.
