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 a Singxer SU-1.  I bought because the Metrum Onyx Dac I had sounded a bit better. with the S/PDIF input.  However, I now have a Totaldac D1 core.  It sounds noticeably better with the USB input than going thru the SU-1.  Better soundstage and sonics.
