This is a very good topic to study!
I think you are talking USB to I2s, if my guess is right, USB to I2S is not the final solution, I ...

威馬兄，sorry, 冇咁複雜，可能是我理解Kenneth's original question 的問題。我以為佢想試下用USB 直插DAC, 所以我咁講。anyway, 又學嘢啦，thanks.
usb stands for universal serial bus, it actually has various applications depending on configuration.
The traditional usb-dac has the problems of dirty power and jitter(clock issue) and that not many manufacturers have resources to develop their own driver, so the sound could not be that good. It's far better nowadays.
The latest development of USB-i2s connection is different from AES based connection(spdif/xlr), I2S connects two devices directly and as far as digital audio/video is concerned, I2s transfers data and clock info more efficiently, just like the CD player. The bad thing though is the lack of universal standard on I2s, some use hdmi, some use cat 5, all with different configuration. PS audio did try to propose a standard on I2S/HDMI, but apparently not so widely used.
Latest development is DSD over usb, which means that we can play sacd files over usb port, all are under rapid development....

DSD for USB products already on sale, even DIY kit

quote from wiki
DSD over USB
An alternative to burning DSD files onto disks for eventual playback is to transfer the (non-encrypted) files from a computer to audio hardware over a digital link such as USB. The USB audio 2.0 specification defined several formats for the more common PCM (Pulse-code modulation) approach to digital audio, but did not define a format for DSD. Playback Designs' players and converters and pro-audio company Mytek Digital's 192 Stereo DAC both sport DSD over USB capability. In 2012 representatives from these companies and others developed a standard to represent and detect DSD audio within the PCM frames defined in the USB specification; the standard is suitable for other digital links that use PCM.

依小弟ga research 同親自感受
SOtM應該係好選擇

其實CHING我有個IDEA, 如果我用HIFACE TWO (XMOS) + AQVOX LOW NOISE LINER PSU, 效果應該差吾多, 但价錢就平好多

SOtM入面d料係幾好ga
不過hiface 2係應該抵玩ga
其實價錢都唔係平好多，個aqvox小弟覺得賣得有點貴
teradak大陸野有類似product, 可以去淘寶睇睇ar
另外我玩SOtM+teradak外置牛ga經驗係好多野可以玩
無論換下電源線、搞下避振腳都好大反應
多野玩好多，性能提升潛力高好多
同埋可以換clock玩-->換clock應該又係不少ga提升ar (雖然我未試)
what is i2S?
Musiland monitor 01~03 USD皆可以,中國製,台灣玩CAS的玩家對其評價很高
