Starting computer audio


Have ThetaDigital ProBasic IIIA dac. What would sound best (have less jitter?), driving the dac with a Sonos Connect or connecting the PC to the dac with a Bel Canto Link usb-to-s/pdif converter, which reclocks the stream. Both are the same price. I do not need multi-room capability, but the Sonos offers convenience and control.

Thanks to you both. Tough call - the convenience of Sonos or Squeezebox vs the inconvenience of running and hiding the cable, but the advantage of reclocking with the Bel Canto. Is a puzzlement...Anyone else?
Bummer! Just realized that Sonos Connect requires an ethernet connection, so cabling is also an issue there. Squeezebox plugs into AC outlet and can be strictly WiFi. Sonos out - Squeezebox now the other option.
Thanks all. Looks like Squeezbox is choice with later option of replacing Theta with higher rez, reclocking dac.
