Hello still considering this I'm very critical about everything that I buy for audio , but I eventually buy stuff when I find the acceptable comprise between what I want and what I actually can buy on the market . So don't missunderstand me here . " most people just want USB port for thier DAC " that must be wrong it's a very narrow segment of the potential market that has gotten this idea into thier heads , this week . Good old spdiff well executed , gets the job done to . Why only toslink as an alternative why not spdiff coaxial ? Is there an option for this too ? Or hdmi . A wider demographic for the product ? Toslink can be bit hit and miss and somewhat depend on both the products involved , but I'll never go higher than 24/96 anyway and no DSD so ill,guess I'm fine here to . I can absolutely live with toslink . But I do like options . Heck I could consider paying more for better interoperability it has its own value , you may never know what you will connect in few years time . Same with other hifi equipment don't you hate running out of inputs or things like that ? So I buy this or similar device with as many output options as possible even I currently don't use all . Hey the USB migth be very handy when my current kit kick the bucket . But actually I'm a bit more sceptical to the company they make things like SOtM and audiophile music servers ?? But if this Sonic orbiter things is developed without to much voodoo in it I'm fine . I do apriciate good engineering Yes I know that I have Meridian gear in my signature , they are far from perfect . To be honest the audio gear I want do not exist . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
