    If you do, I'd like your USB5 card! Mine is still on USB2 and the economics of shipping internationally for a Unison upgrade don't make sense.

    I'm with you @Woland, mine is usb2 (i think, it might even be older than that), and I think I'd rather go gen5 than unison even being in CONUS.

    @luckybaer BNC is SO. MUCH. BETTER. than 2015-era usb ims. I can't even listen to usb ims, it's that bad...

    I think I'm still on USB Gen 2 as well, from January 2016. Haven't used USB for 5+ years. :)

    @neogeosnk wow that's the cheapest DDC I've seen with or without i2S, what output do you use?

    @neogeosnk I’d love to hear more from you about that interface.

    I use the spdif out. You need to install drivers and it automatically outputs to spdif, shows up in windows as another speaker. I had an old audiophonics lps laying around and that brought it up a bit more. So a good usb power supply is recommended as the supplied one is basic. Apple ipad power supply worked almost as good as the lps though. You can't go wrong as you can return it if it sucks but it wont.

    @neogeosnk So all I need is a USB cube to power this thing? I had a bunch of points to use at Amazon, so I snagged one on a lark.

    Also, @neogeosnk ... can it output to both spdif and opt simultaneously, or is it one or the other?

    @neogeosnk Tip of the cap to you. One of the best pieces of advice I've ever picked up from an audio forum. This Douk Audio interface is fantastic!
