Both the Amanero and XMOS solutions are classic and excellent. The China-made chipset (MCU CH32V307 + CPLD AGRV2KQ32) also delivers solid sound quality at a more cost-effective price. As for the PCM2706, since it was recommended by Miro earlier, I want to give it a try.

Also it works in adaptive mode with internally recovered clock (not asynchronous wit audio clock), so have a big problem with bitperfect low jitter playback.
But, it is very simple and cheap.

A couple of them have already asked me to replace PCM2706 with Amanero or JLS I2S Over USB in old DACs. I guess it's doable on some devices, mostly where there is room for a new, larger card. One added I2S Over USB (SPDIF output) to the SPDIF input of an old DAC without a USB input. And he is very satisfied with the result. And it will be even better when I make a separate power supply for the JLS card. 😎
