No more contamination of the analog signal by the computer environment; no matter the situation, the results will always be their best.

There are no external power supplies to worry about because the Music Streamer Pro derives its power from the USB bus while completely regenerating power for all its internal needs using a sophisticated set of proprietary circuits. Operation is simple: just plug the Music Streamer Pro into any USB port on your host computer and the Music Streamer Pro will install itself and be ready for use in a matter of moments. Connect the other end into any Balanced Analog Input and you are ready to transfer extremely high quality computer based audio.
