USB to AES converter / DDC


Hello,

I am getting back into music after a long time. I got a server/streamer, an Antipodes EX and I need a USB to AES converter to connect to my Trinnov ST2 hifi which in turn connects to the Weiss DAC202 (all with AES cables). The DAC202 feeds an Aavik I-280 that drives a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mahler speakers.  I was thinking something like the Mutec MC3+USB /Mutec MC1.2+, Audio-dg DI25HE or similar. Any suggestions please? Thanks!

I am unclear why you need the Trinnov ST2 hifi in between a server/streamer and a DAC?

Simpler options to convert USB out on your streamer to digital in on your Trinnov if using a coax input would work and there is no reason it wouldn't as well as AES. I asked Innuos for a recommendation for a USB to Coax converter and they suggested HiFace2 USB to S/PDIF converter from M2Tech. Limited quantity and only available in the USA. I ordered one but my Streamer has not been delivered yet so I haven't tested it.

@fastfreight  I use the Trinnov as a Digital Room Correction but only in the digital domain, it must be one of the best DRC engines around.

I use a Mutec  mc3+USB reclocker.    

Works great , it can accept USB ,AES, Coax, Toslink, and output any input simultaneously across all inputs.    It's worth a look for your application 

I picked up a Singxer SU6 awhile back and was impressed with the output. It is a good value. The Mutec looks interesting, but I have not heard it.
