I use the Music Server with the Transient USB converter and the PS Audio NuWave DAC, it sound really great in my belief...

How does the sound quality of Transient DAC compare to CIAUDIO VAC1 + VDA2 with good USB to SPDIF Converter?

Not long ago I got to hear the CIAUDIO VAC1 + VDA2 with SPDIF converter of HEGEL HD2 and the sound was excellent.

Best sound quality through USB would be to use all three.
The Transient is a SOTA USB > S/PDIF converter with ultra-low jitter. Connect this to the computer and feed the coaxial output into the VDA-2/VAC-1 combo.

The Transient has the advantage of low jitter and I2S direct to the DAC circuit.
VDA-2 has a better DAC circuit and discrete analog stage.

In the end, they sound very close side by side.
