Wow! So I’m not the only one!! I have conducted several A/B tests between my Gustard U18 & PS Audio Directstream DAC with updated firmware - every time the AES/EBU wins hands down.
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.
