The Audiophilleo is a USB to SPDIF converter which employs USB audio class 2 asynchronous communication. I think it is based on the XMOS USB chip. It does not house a DAC. The target is a Wadia PowerDAC 151. The Wadia actually has USB input which operates in adaptive isochronous mode. I guess I could test a direct USB connection from the SBT to the Wadia for you, but I am not planning on actually using it as I dont think this will sound better compared to using the SBT SPDIF out to the Wadia. I already did some extensive tests and I am confident a good asynchronous USB implementation with SPDIF out will give better results. Hence the order for the Audiophilleo. I am planning to connect the Audiophilleo to my Ubuntu desktop. It would be a nice bonus if I could make it work straight from a SBT, but I guess that involves updating the USB driver on the Touch. Some time ago I had read that this upgrade is not easy to accomplish? regards, Tom -- warpian author of the Just Covers plugin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ warpian's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49534 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93310 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
