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 use Audio GD Di 20 HE too.  Did wonders to clean the USB output from an Innuos server.  Stayed on for a month for burn in, but got even better with an external clock from AfterDark and a good BNC cable.

Now waiting to demo a Melco S10 and an Antipodes Oladra to check if they are really better by a significant margin.
