Specs from Cherry site for convertor:
"Cherry USB is a low profile USB to coax SPDIF converter. It's a plug-and-play USB device (driver installation not necessary) for modern Windows and Mac PCs. Power is also provided through USB, so there's no need for an external power adapter. It supports sample rates up to 384kHz and up to 32 bit data. Can be used to drive any DAC with a coax SPDIF input, including the Cherry DAC DAC. Gold Neutrik RCA output connector. Slim case (just over one inch height) has the same footprint as Cherry Stereo Maraschino, Cherry 60V 1kW Maraschino Power Supply, and Cherry DAC DAC (any version), for easy "stacking".

"In an attempt to make the audio signal path as short as possible, we designed an experimental output stage, and it sounded amazing! We listened for several hours in awe, then we measured the performance with an audio analyzer. To our surprise, THD+N wasn't so low as the input level rose toward full scale, but with the help of a low noise floor (120dB SNR), THD+N was pretty low as the input level decreased. "How is this possible?", we asked. "How can this thing sound so wonderful, but measure so-so?". Well, after taking a better look, we discovered that the distortion characteristics of our shortest-path circuit were similar to that of tube (a.k.a. valve) amplification circuits, providing a smooth, musical sound. We listened again to confirm this (loving every minute of it).... The Cherry DAC DAC TL (tube-like) was born!"
Price for the pair is 600.00 (Thats under 1/2 of the 1400 retail) This DAC sonics were a great surprise to me. It competes with newer DACs costing 4+ times the price. Only selling to off set the price of Audio Note 4.1x
Its small and light weight but it packs a huge punch above this price point
At my price I will cover fees and buyer covers shipping (wont be much as it is lite weight). Includes the 12VDC wall wart . The convertor is powered by the USB
