I got my U3 for very cheap so I couldn't complain at all.
New DACs are getting equipped with better USB receiver units. Could be a matter of time before all these USB converters disappear from the market. Nobody will know =)
I know what you mean. I had the same feelings when I switched from the jkeny modified HiFace to the DI, I didn't found the HiFace to sound muddy or veiled but it couldn't compete when swapping it directly with the DI.
I don't know if the DI V2 will sound as good as the U3 but the Stello must be pretty good then. Although, its price tag is much higher so the new DI has a point again on the market here.
When I saw the bump in SQ going from a USB converter to another, or the improvements brought by a dedicated PSU for it, I guess there's a lot of headroom in the end before my DAC becomes the limitation of my system.
I think there will be other big bumps in quality these next few years regarding USB converters, or we me saw completely new type of converters arriving with new kind of technology, as this is a pretty recent market.
