Hi everyone! I'm currently in need for a USB to Optical SPDIF converter and I've just stumbled upon this product and review.
Two questions though:
1. Does anyone know whether or not this device supports native USB Class 1 (i.e. without drivers)? I don't inherently have a problem with USB Class 2 drivers but I do always like to have USB Class 1 available as a fallback just in case driver support vanishes in the future.
2. Is there any other USB to Optical SPDIF converter that I should be looking at instead (at either an equivalent or lower price)? My only other requirements (in addition to the point above) are that it absolutely must be USB-powered (as I really want to keep cables to a minimum) and TOSLINK is also a must because I might be purchasing a DAC soon that only has TOSLINK SPDIF available as a digital input.
Thank you!
