Is there any losses using this device?There are several options when you only need line in and optical out. I think the ADL Stratos (http://www.adl-av.com/products/usbdac/stratos/) is one of the more high end solutions available. I went for an unorthodox solution, the Musical Fidelity Merlin which also solved some other audio requirements I had (http://www.musicalfidelity.com/merlin).
I have a high end turntable and a phono stage. Just looking at best way to connect them to Phantom.
Innuos Zen Mini MK3 -> (Ethernet / Audioquest Optical) -> Dialog & 2x White Phantom
Pro-Ject Carbon Debut Esprit Turntable with Ortofon Red -> (Cinch/RCA) Musical Fidelity Merlin -> (AudioQuest Optical) to Phantom
Master & Dynamics MH40, Audeze Sine, AudioQuest Dragonfly Red; Remote Control via macOS and iOS devices (Devialet App / Innuos Sense /iPeng / Audirvāna Studio)
