Bel Canto Design debuts the USB Link 24/96, the must-have component for computer hard disc music systems. This device converts a computer-derived USB input of up to 24 bits and 96kHz to SPDIF and outputs the signal on a 75 ohm BNC. The USB Link 24/96 includes a Stereovox SV2 BNC/BNC cable with RCA adaptor to feed your audiophile DAC of choice — most likely a Bel Canto DAC3! Significantly improves the sound of your 16-bit 441.kHz music files as well.
