Topping E50 Review (Balanced DAC)

[staticV3]

Uhm, I don't think is a good move to involve another audio interface in the chain (more drivers, more jitter, etc.)...

Switching from USB to Toslink does not add drivers, meaningful amounts of jitter, or anything else that could limit sound quality.

In fact, the electrical isolation may reduce interference noise and actually improve sound quality.

...I used to totally disable motherboard soundcard (so its drivers, then TOSLINK doesn't work anymore) and use ASIO drivers...
