Is USB overrated as decent digital source?



Some of the USB DACs or USB-SPDIF converters are really expensive, are they really worth the price?

I traded my fully modded Modwright 999es for an expensive USB converter. The converter/DAC outperformed the 999es on every level. I will never go back to a CDP. BTW, The Modwright was much more expensive than the converter plus a DAC.

Modwright $1500 to $2500. vs.
Converter $400 to $950 plus the price of the DAC of your choice. Mine total was $1100.
