wanted: Spdif / USB converter
what do you have?

[bronzeage]

I have a Beresford converter, older model though, think works with Linux and up to Windows 7. Maybe check with Stan if it can be updated, £10 plus postage if you like.

thanks Marcus, i am using a relatively budget unit at the moment and want to try and see what I can get in the upper price brackets
Appreciated though

Hi Adam, I have a SoTM DX HD USB-to-S/PDIF Converter that is no longer being used. Could do for £125 incl. UK postage. I paid £160 five years ago. It came with original box, but that got left in my office and would have to follow post lockdown -assuming it’s still there 15 months!

I tried a Singxer and it was very good. Unfortunately it wasn't compatible with my early Zen or I'd have kept it. Mine was the SU1 but the SU2 and higher may be even better.

A Topping D10s can be used as a SPDIF Usb convertor, they're about £100 new.

But would it be better than what the OP already has? Maybe if we knew what that is it would help yield appropriate suggestions.

Looks like it's one of these Lawrence and also looks pretty expensive.

Ah yes of course missed that. I wouldn't call that a budget unit assuming it's on a par with his valve DACs. Maybe it's not on the same level though.

I’m a little bemused at this. I had the early USB to spiff converter from SW1X and the only one to improve on it was the USB II Signature which I now use. None of the SW1X products are below par or particularly cheap and almost all production goes abroad where there is a healthy demand. Slawa is currently developing a full range of amplifiers.
