    Is it possible to connect a i2s cable to a PC via a converter or adapter?

    I heard i2s is superior to USB, but how would someone connect a i2s cable to a PC?   The connector type is super rare & I doubt any modern soundcard were made for those type of connections.     Are there any i2s to usb adapters to maybe a converter box? Anyone know about this?

    Using a Playstation One videogame system as a dedicated DAC?

    Read that the original run of Playstation One systems had a pretty decent DAC built in them. I want to try it out & see how it compares to the DAC I have on hand.   But how would I hook it up to take advantage of that with headphones?   Like if I hook it up to my TV & play some CD's on it...

    If I have optical outputs on my DAC & source, would there be any reason to ever use the USB cables?

    I'm reading about all these USB cleaners, dedicated power supplies & expensive USB cables to try & eliminate the noise & what not generated by the USB to get the best quality sound from a dedicated DAC.   My PC & DAC have optical in/outputs. Would using optical cables generally be the better...

    I searched & the prices go from $1 to $3,000 for simple red/white RCA audio cables.   I'm using some cheap cables that I had lying around to connect my amp to my DAC & wondering how much of a difference would $50, $100, $200 or even $300 RCA cables would improve the sound quality?   Is there...

    Is there no flagship for "fun" headphones that has the 3D soundstaging of other summit headphones?

    The HD800, T1,  Ether, K812 etc... all have the large 3D soundstage sound, but aren't not considered fun/musical headphones. They are more neutral or analytical than anything else.   I searched around & can't seem to find high end musical headphones that also contain the large spacious stereo...

    Should I get a AMP/DAC combo (Magi/Modi or O2/Odac) or a single better amp (Asgard 2) for the Sennheiser HD 600?
