Audio-GD Digital Interface

With a reshuffle at my house, I can no longer reasonable run coax from my PC to my stereo. My goal is to switch from the hardwire PC based set-up to a Squeezebox. Currently I'm using the Audio-GD Digital Interface USB to SPDIF converter which I feel is one of the best available, and definitely the best for price. It accepts up to 24bit/96kHz, and upsaple up to 24bit/192kHz selectable by jumpers. The unit can be run off the 5v USB power, or off the upgraded PSU which makes for nice options. It's about 6 months old and was purchased directly from Kingwa at Audio-GD.
Ideally I would like to trade the Digital Interface for a Squeezebox Touch, but would also sell it for $215 shipped in original packaging with a custom length DH Labs Silversonic digital coax cable included (up to 25ft).

Neskahi, the DI is an excellent piece of gear. Superb build quality, and true HIFI sound quality. It sounds better to me than the Musical Fidelity V-Link, not to mention it looks really classy. Enjoy, and feel free to hit me up if you need any help with it!:cheesygrin:
Jake, good luck with the SQB, people love'em! I want to do a shootout between my DI and a SQB to see how they may sound different. One of these days...
As a side note, I was faced with a similar dilemma as Jake, wanting the PC in a different place while keeping a hard-wired USB audio setup, so I left the actual tower next to my rig so I could use a short high-quality USB cable as well as a short high quality digital cable, and then I ran a 30ft monitor cord to my desk, and a 30ft USB extension for the wireless mouse/keayboard's dongle. Now my desk is where I want it, but the actual PC is right next to my rig. Just food for thought.2-Channel: PC > Schiit Eitr > Audio Research DAC-8 > Audio Research LS-26 > Pass Labs X-250.5 > Magnepan 3.7's

My father-in-law just got a Squeezebox which is prompting me to make the jump. I could never believe that wireless could sound as good as wired, but the the sound quality is fantastic, and the interface whether on the unit of the smartphone amp is equally good. I hope I like the switch as the DI is the best I've found so far, so I'm a little nervous...
My over all goal is the add NAS to my network, which would allow for music listening without have my PC on.
