Five separate power supplies on the card cleanly isolate the sensitive converter section from the USB interface – effort you rarely see on a plug-in card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA USB input supporting PCM signals up to 384 kHz\/24 bit and DSD up to DSD128 – enough for practically any current streaming or computer source. Once connected via USB cable, you simply select the digital source through the 404's existing input selector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the module suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e for anyone who feeds their music via USB from a computer, NAS or streaming transport and also wants to use DSD formats. If you only want to connect a classic digital source with a coaxial or optical output, the cheaper SPDIF module gets you just as far – both digital modules can't be installed at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more consistent of the two digital cards for anyone who genuinely needs USB and DSD playback.
