Question MOST FIBER OPTIC DECODER

I’m in the process of converting my factory stereo in my 03 s55 amg that is MOST fiber optic , im looking for anyone with experience with he SPIRAL AUDIO MOST Decoder vs all the other cheap ones on the market, is it any better sound quality and worth the huge price tag???? I contacted them and they informed me it also doesn’t support fading front/rear channels like the cheaper ones I’ve found.

The SPIRAL AUDIO unit is the IX-MB026 and its $370 vs the cheaper china eBay ones for under $100.

Probably the same as the Cheaper ones. I tried one of those decoders {the cheap one} and it was absolute crap. Ended up running wires and a amp.
