What's different betw these 2 products? (Small DAC

[97tbird]

Different ASIN numbers on amazon. Price is similar. Model / Brand is same. One comes with Optical audio cable. Other doesn't. Is that the only difference, or am I missing something? ITEM 1: (has about 1000 reviews) http://www.amazon.com/D3-Digital-Convert...uct_top?ie=UTF8 ITEM 2: (65 reviews) http://www.amazon.com/D03K-Digital-Analog-Audio-Converter/dp/B009346RSS

Looks like the same item from different sellers. One seller includes an optical cable. I'd by from the first link.

So what's the deal with this particular DAC? Is it supposed to be of some very high quality? Wondering if my squeezebox would benefit from it. It has a Burr-Brown 24-bit DAC.

No clue - it says the DAC is a Cirrus, which does have a good reputation. I am planning to use this with the new TV (no analog out, no headphone jack) I have coming, when I use Roku3, which also has no analog audio outs. (Only optical out), so I would use this and probably use the '3.5 mm line out to connect to my usual Yamaha 2.1 PC speakers system (has great sound). OR use that output as a HP out. (I hardly use HPs with TV though). I guess I can use the RCA out and connect even to the main lvg rm amp, but mostly the 2.1 Yamaha system is enough.
