Connect your pc, mac, macbook to your old or current digital to analog (d/a) converter & start enjoying hi res digital audio from your computer to your stereo.

Plug and play, high-resolution audio. In addition to playing standard CD resolution audio, the Bridge can play high-resolution audio files as well (up to 96 kHz, 24 bit). Hi res files are available for download at places such as HDTracks, as well as elsewhere. For best results, we recommend players such as jRiver or foobar for the PC, and Amarra Mini, AyreWave, or Pure Music for the Mac

Stereophile Class A recommended Halide USB/PDIF Bridge

In this utitarian-looking USB- S/PDIF converter, a 6" USB cable terminates in a 3" long black aluminum tube with, on its other end, either a 75ohm BNC plug or an Eichmann Silver Bullet RCA plug.
The brige gets its 5V power the USB bus and feeds the USB datastream to a Texas Instruments TAS1020b receiver chip, enabling the Bridge to operate in asynchronous mode without the host computer having to install a driver program.
It operated properly at sample rates of up to 96 hz, and produced a very clean data stream free from timing uncertainty; and with its relaxed, grain free sound, the Bridge excelled at conveying recorded ambiance and low -level detail said JA.
