I'm using PC USB out to feed my AK4396 based DAC.
For USB to SPDIF conversion I use a CM6631a based usb to SPDIF converter.
I'm wondering if a change of the digital interface into xmos 208 384K (see link) would improve the sound.

There are good reviews of the unit on audiophonics.fr
AUDIOPHONICS XMOS U208 Interface digitale USB 32bit / 384kHz AES / I2S 2x TCXO Alimentation 230V OTG - Audiophonics
There are three versions of this digital interface available. Does anyone know differences soundwise?
There's also a much cheaper digital interface on Alieexpres
XMOS XU208 AK4490 USB DSD256 DSD Native 384K DAC MAX9722 Kopfhorer Verstarker|Heimautomatisierungs-Sets| - AliExpress
But I'm not sure if it's of the same quality.
Many thanks in advance, for helping me.
