Hello.
I am trying to renew my second audio system, which is a purely digital one (in contrast to the main).
I am looking for a USB to COAX/OPTICAL Converter / Adapter. It should connect a PC laptop with active speakers. Allow volume control in Win-PC or have an own volume controller.
In this thread:

there was the SMSL PO100 Pro suggested.
BTW on amazon it is (wrongly?) advertised as a Digital to Analog Converter:
I have found https://doukaudio.com/collections/d...x-opt-hdmi-converter-digital-interface-dsd256
In terms of features, it looks what I need. Not sure about quality.
Both are made in PRC. I would prefer something quality.
My equipment:
HP ZBook Fury 17 G8 Win 11 with USB-A and and USB-C outputs
USB cable AudioQuest Cinnamon
Roland DS-5 active speakers
Oehlbach NF 113 DI 500 Cinch S/PDIF Coax, 75 Ohm, 5m - to mutually connect Rolands
Thanks for suggestions
