Please do not buy an m2tech evo. Severe issues with drivers on platforms other win 7.
Not sure becoz all I have used is windows 7 and it works perfectly. Honestly sound out of my music Pc, via the m2tech evo trio, is the best source I have heard in my system. Of course my source is limited to the inr 50k windows 7 based pc, usd $1500 m2tech trio and my ayon skylla II dac, so obviously there are better sources out there - mine is perhaps just mid or lo-fi at best. Secondly as I stated earlier, I did a comparison to the Berkley audio design alpha, and honestly for the $300 xtra cost of the BADA, not really much difference.
However I am just a computer/audio novice - like I have stated in other threads - there are so many other options and experts - this is just my humble hearing - perhaps not worthy of all the advanced experience of hi-fi audio of the computer wizs out there, so kindly disregard what I have stated. I also used this as a guideline when I chose my current setup FWIW.
15 USB/SPDIF converters shootout
Probably just ramblings of another computer illiterate like me and who knows what compulsions have misguided him - however he did have access to all these converters and did hear them (IMO the most important point rather than conclusions based on armchair searches and gut feelings) on what I would simply state as a "state of the art system" (one that I can only dream of owning in another life:lol. Anyways, I stand corrected, I do not know what is out there, my proclamations are just amateur obervations at best - so kindly treat them as fillers for the thread. To the OP, my previous posts were just my observations - good luck with the search - hope you find the best suited usb-spdif converter for your needs - I believe you are on the right track.
Cheers,
Sid
