Digital PC Link USB-SPDIF - TOTAL ****?

[Kane Williams]

I'm ure I have seen somewhere on this forum that the Digital PC Link as seen here...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-USB-to-SP...hash=item170244734618&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

... sounds like crap, but I can't find the post/thresd now.

As it's the only USB-SPDIF converter I can find that allows 24 bit (up to 48Khz), it has caught my attention. Also it is well chaep too.

Does it really sound bad and if so, could it be moddified to sound good, still allowing 24 bit audio?

Thanks
