Excellent & well thought out audio interface – just the thing to bring vintage audio equipment into the digital music age & it does that very well.
We’ve tested so many of these things over the last few years & they are getting better all the time – this is the latest model to impress us enough that we’re making them available on our website.
A lot of care has been taken in the design of this product. Some points to note are:
- Dedicated music device – no flashy lights & buttons – just does what you want it to whilst hiding out of sight.
- Excellent sound quality – thanks to the Qualcomm 5125 chipset & the onboard PCM5102A DAC.
- Supports LDAC (Quality), LDAC (normal), LDAC (connection), aptX HD, aptx Lossless, aptX, AAC, SBC codecs
- Bluetooth 5.0
- Isolated power circuits to eliminate background noise.
- Quality audio grade components.
- Robust construction.
- USB powered or via external plug-in power pack.
- Gold plated everything to eliminate corrosion & provide the best connection possible.
- 2.4G Bluetooth – 30m range – however our testing shows that it’s best within 10-15m.
- USB-C Data port.
- Signal-to-noise ratio 112dB. Output 2v.
- Bluetooth disconnect button – just in case someone connects & you’d rather they didn’t..
- Does not have an inbuilt lithium battery – that’s a good thing.
Add to that – this unit can also be used as a USB sound card on computer devices – information is passed digitally from PC to the Audio Interface via USB-C connection. So you’ll be able to take advantage of the units superior audio path instead of using a computer/laptop etc in-built sound card.
If you listen to music from an old laptop or Chromebook. Tablet etc – that’s great news!
