Parfait!
Le XMOS U208 me sert d'interface entre mon PC et un DCX2496.
Fonctionnant dès le début sous Windows 11, je n'ai pas eu à installer les pilotes.
À l'écoute rien à signaler, très bon.
Par contre la LED rouge haute luminosité en façade se fait trop voyante.

The AUDIOPHONICS XMOS U208 Digital interface is top quality. I have spent a lot of money in the past, often a multiple of what the U208 costs, on functionally identical USB converters of less quality, with fewer connection options.

In that light, I can recommend the U208 very warmly. The price / quality ratio is a big 10 out of 10.

The only thing that can be said about the U208 is that it runs quite hot during operation. Make sure there is enough space around the converter.

Installation très facile
Très facile a installé et son très claire et propre. Je l'emploie avec un Monacor DSM-48LAN avec AES et ça fonctionne fantastiquement bien!

Une interface efficace.
Le rapport qualité/prix de cette interface est excellent. Ayant un DAC sans port USB mais seulement des entrées AES/UBU et toslink j'ai opté pour cette interface pour convertir la sortie USB de ma carte Matrix Element H en SPDIF AES XLR. Le résultat est excellent...musicalité, image sonore bref rien à redire avec en plus une belle fabrication et un prix qui ne sombre pas dans les abysses de l'audiophilie

Another outstanding Audiophonics product
I’m planning to assemble a DIY with of the shell components/board on this site, but I was struggling what to do with the USB-input. I have used a Audiophonics DAC AK4495SEQ for a year now. Amazing value for money, but the DAC has its limitations. Most noticeable is the digital glare/blur in the high register. On Back Friday I was searching for options on this site and came across this U208 interface and ordered it. It was neatly delivered to to me in the Netherlands a couple of days later. The box has an all black finish instead of silver/black, but you won’t hear me complain about that.

I tested this U208 interface in combination with the DAC I mentioned above using an Audiophonics coax cable and an Audiophonics USB-cable. Well that was interesting. The U208 just lifted this DAC to a whole new level. With this interface the DAC became far more natural, detailed, involving, lively …. and … well ... just a lot more fun to listen too. It just shows that good USB-conversion is difficult and doing it in a separate box with more room for good components and a separate power supply is very rewarding.
