Halide Design USB to SPDIF Bridge

Description

About this product:
"When USB–S/PDIF converters can be had for not much more than 0, a product providing the same functionality but costing three times as much needs to offer sound quality that is beyond criticism. Fortunately, that was the case with the Halide S/PDIF Bridge. With all the D/A processors I used it with it, even the jitter-prone
Assemblage DAC-1
, its grain-free presentation stepped out of the music's way in a very welcome manner.
The Halide Bridge is limited to sample rates of 96kHz and below, which may be a problem for some users. For me, however, that was more than outweighed by the fact that it will function correctly with 88.2kHz data. And, of course, its owner doesn't have to buy a separate S/PDIF cable to use with it. It is also truly plug'n'play.
