Please be forewarned, this is a long thread. Most of what you would need to know is located in the first three posts. I can verify with my own eyes and ears that some rather fine systems have this in use. Even at audio shows.

For those who may not have been aware of this relatively low cost product, it sure does seem to be catching some momentum. The end result sounds very, very good - BUT, I have not done any A/B testing. Just thought I'd share it with this forum for those who may be interested.

    Have you had a chance to listen to the WiFi switch yet? I'm still hard wired so this looks like a way to isolate the dac and PC. I looked into optical but didn't feel like spending the $ for that.
