The S/PDIF header feeds this device with a bitstream, which is converted to an analog signal within the DAC. All digital devices that output an analog signal have a DAC, but they're usually very cheap and it seems difficult for manufacturers to translate what makes a good DAC in to sales speak. It's much more than just a chip.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 4:36PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/02/bel-cantos-usb-link-24-96-converts-usb-audio-to-s-pdif/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/02/bel-cantos-usb-link-24-96-converts-usb-audio-to-s-pdif/
