[QUOTE="Carnajo, post: 968501, member: 4842"] Sure. I actually meant something more akin to a USB soundcard (like Asus Xonar U3 or similar that has optical out. In theory the on-board DACs don't matter as everything should stay digital. What I don't know though is whether it remains "bit-perfect" or whether there are other issues with something like this vs. paying up. Makes perfect sense. I was merely wondering why a cheaper device like a typical external USB soundcard mentioned above acting as a bridge was an inferior option to some of the suggestions since the DAC section is in theory bypasssed, i.e. is there something more that happens at the bridge stage that would make it less than bit-perfect.
