The 12MHz TCXO in this thing accomplishes absolutely squat. The CM108 IC still has a crap CMOS PLL onboard which generates 44.1/48KHz audio clocks, and the audio clock is ultimately derived from the rate which the PC is pushing samples at this converter.

$40 for the whole thing in a box (including a TCXO which costs about half that price in low quantities) is actually a great deal if you value the sum of the parts. But this isn't a high-end piece of equipment or anything.

So there's my armchair evaluation :D
 
I've got one.
It sounds great. Get one if you can.

I used to use the Behringer UCA-202 for USB- SPDIF conversion.

This unit is so much better with more detail all round.

I cant recomend it enough! and the price is good.
