worth upgrading BelCanto REFLink?

Hi all,

I am currently using a BelCanto REFLink to convert the USB output from my MacMini (using as a Roon core) into SPDIF format to feed into the coax input on my Mojo Audio Mystique DAC.

I am wondering, based on the BelCanto's age and the rate with which things change in the audio world, if I would achieve an appreciable improvement with the new Matrix Audio X-SPDIF 3 USB Interface or the Audiophilleo1 with PurePower PSU.

Both are much newer (one would imagine technology has advanced) and have a far better clock than the BelCanto, so I am guessing that may improve things, but I would be grateful for anyone's thoughts/experience with these devices and info on what type of improvements, if any, I am likely to experience with this switch?

Thanks so much,
Chris

Hi rossb,

Thanks so much for your post!

What types of improvements do you note with the Matrix (with LPS) over the Bel Canto?

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for your response!

Alas, my hands are tied with respect to using the MacMini, as I use Theoretica Physics BACCH4Mac cross-channel cancellation software/filtering to achieve "true" 3D sound, and this requires the player/streamer be a Mac device.

Thanks again,

Chris
