hi
I have a DAC, and I want to get sound out of my PC
Right now I am using SPDIF from my sound card (optical or COAX)
now
I have heard that jitter isn't a good thing
Right?
So
Will using a device like this can remove the jitter and make my sound be better?
Also
I want to get the sound out of my PC and into the DAC (it has both COAX and Optical)
and I have seen that the  Off-Ramp have some options for upgrade:
Options include:

Captive S/PDIF coaxial cable with copper Eichmann Bullet-RCA Plug (standard)
Captive S/PDIF coaxial BNC output instead of Bullet-plug (75 ohm Neutrik BNC)
- no charge
AES/EBU output instead of S/PDIF coax - $150 additional
RCA jack instead of captive cable - $15 additional
AES/EBU jack instead of captive cable (must also have option 3) - $25 additional
Nextgen copper 75 ohm plug on captive cable - $120 additional
Nextgen copper 75 ohm jack - $60 additional

What should I take to get the BEST out of it ?
What are the last two ones? and will they improve something ?

Also
Is there other products or options for doing the same thing as getting sound out of my PC ?

Thank you for the help.

Getting Steve to put I2S on your DAC would be the best way with Off ramp.  If not, I would get BNC plug on your DAC.  Pace car is also a worthy option.

amm
I don't understand
What are all those options? and what is the best one?
And why not using off-ramp and connecting it to my DAC with the coax ?

EAD - the Off-Ramp is being replaced soon with the Off-Ramp 3.  This will have several outputs and the only options will be:
1) Superclock4 - recommended
2) 5V I2S interface for Northstar and Stello

Orders that I'm taking now will be for the Off-Ramp 3.  Pricing will be similar, but I dont know it exactly yet, so same as Turbo 2 for now.

Look
Some sties have like one or two DAC's, but here you have like 10 options and than sub options and so on 

so
Can you futher explain me please?
I am sure to take the latestest version with the last firmware of it
But

I just want a simple thing, and want to do it the BEST way I can do, with out sending my PC to you or my DAC (mean no modding)

I want to take my pc, connect it to a device, what ever with spdif or USB, and than from that device connecting to my DAC using optical or COAX, so I get BEST sound possible with almost no jitter or any other problems

What can I get and how ?
Please explain me.

Off Ramp 3 with super clock 4 option would be your best bet for what you are asking given your conditions.  I2S protocol is better than SPDIF since a receiving chip is not needed to separate out the data stream and clock information.  Without that option, you have to deal with SPDIF.  I read that BNC gives you the best 75ohm connection needed for SPDIF and that the digital cable need to be of sufficient length to combat interference from bounced signals.

what kind of upgrades are for it?
I have also seen there is the "ultraclock"
what is it? and what does it give? and what about the power PSU and cables and so on?

Thank you!
