My amplifier (NAD M10 V3) is connected with a SPDIF optical connection to my PC motherboard soundcard (ALC4080) now.

Should i buy this product and bypass my ALC4080 soundcard on my motherboard for a better connection and quality? Or does this make no difference?

 
The only way in which a poor SPDIF connection will express itself is in signal stutter, breakup, or complete signal loss.

If you do not currently have such issues, then switching to another SPDIF transmitter will not improve things.

Even if you do, switching SPDIF transmitter does not guarantee an improvement, if the root cause is a poor quality cable or SPDIF receiver.
