I think bad USB is a known thing with Chord. I expect you will be very happy out of the DI-20HE.Do you feel it improve the RME on the warm/analog side?
My reason is:
Chord TT2 driver is soo frustrating, when using other dacs too on the same pc....
DI20HE is going to eliminate and replace that part. My expectations is, I hope it does not "bottlenecks" the DI20HE in any aspects.
I am not really sure how to describe the difference running the RME off the DI-20 as opposed to USB. I think it sounds pretty transparent over coax and I'm not sure there was much difference. I have been lucky to have PCs that are not noisy.
