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.

Seeing the SU-6 review is what prompted my post.

So far..responses are positive.  My Holo DAC, which arrives in five days, has a configurable HDMI i2s

Tim Conners at Kitsune Hifi..US distributor for Holo said that USB and I2s were equally good with the May DAC KTE.

He also suggested that many high dollar USB were not ideal and suggested the lower priced Premium USB at this link:
