worth upgrading BelCanto REFLink?

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Hi all,

I am currently using a BelCanto REFLink to convert the USB output from my MacMini (using as a Roon core) into SPDIF format to feed into the coax input on my Mojo Audio Mystique DAC.

I am wondering, based on the BelCanto's age and the rate with which things change in the audio world, if I would achieve an appreciable improvement with the new Matrix Audio X-SPDIF 3 USB Interface or the Audiophilleo1 with PurePower PSU.

Both are much newer (one would imagine technology has advanced) and have a far better clock than the BelCanto, so I am guessing that may improve things, but I would be grateful for anyone's thoughts/experience with these devices and info on what type of improvements, if any, I am likely to experience with this switch?

Thanks so much,
Chris
