It works well, the chip runs cooler , the zener is a little higher than the output of the voltage on the buffers out but lower than the chips max rating, its mainly just a safety thing

Leo,
I would highly recommend a Musiland 01USD USB to SPDIF converter - will do 24/192 asynchronous. It sounds great stock but if you're in the mood will respond well to some modding - external PS (great mod) & I'll be trying a change of the 24MHz crystal soon.
I have modded a 01US which contains an internal PCM1793 DAC - details here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digit...ml#post1955840
Oh, BTW, I haven't visited this forum since summer & only now picked up your PM to me - reply sent (if it's not too late) :)
I've been looking at the Musilands ta, think I'll give one a try .Quote:

I had an email this morning saying you tried to send me a PM but my inbox was full, anyway I cleared a load out again now:)
There are some great options around now for high res USB to SPDIF conversion:
There is a comparison of 4 different USB to SPDIF units in which rates them in the following order of preference:
- M2Tech Hiface
- Teralink -x
- Musiland 01USD
- EMU 0404 USB
The M2Tech uses 2 different low jitter clocks and some jitter test have been performed here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f46/us...ml#post6063226
Hope my PM got through?
Hmm, so we now have a few interesting looking options, thanks for making us aware of those, time for some reading I guess;)
Afraid PM didn't get through although it should be in your sent folder so could always forward over:)
I resent the PM. Leo!
Explain please.
{Edit: Sorry, I see that you meant 're-sent' rather than resent - I was a bit worried for a moment, there!} :)
Marco.
