Briefly, for those of you who have not yet heard the buzz about the USB Thingee, it is BC's affordable yet highly flexible 'swiss army knife' of DACs.
On one hand the USB Thingee allows you to connect your media PC, laptop or even home computer to your home audio system while bypassing entirely the typically inferior sound card. With this approach you can take advantage of the added convenience of using your existing library of online music & video content. This is all made possible while not having to risk compromising your audio sound quality in the process.
Similarly this device allows you to use a laptop or home computer as an alternative to an expensive dedicated CD transport. In this method the PC & USB Thingee in tandem will work amicably with any existing external DAC that you already own. As if this was not enough the unit also contains an integrated 1/8" headphone connection.
This is all made possible by the internal reference DAC that resides inside the USB Thingee's minimalist exterior. To complete the package we offer the USB Thingee with an optional AES/EBU & Toslink connections.
Why AES/EBU and Toslink Options?
Toslink is best to hook up to a home theater processor or receiver. They usually have digital inputs but many have only toslink. This allows you to play music or even internet radio on your Home Theater system.
AES/EBU is handy for connecting laptops to various equipment such as a digital mixer.
Don't let this unit's modest price fool you -- This device is truely a wolf in sheep's clothing. It offers a remarkable sound quality & as such has successfully achieved the highest price-to-performance ratio of any product we've auditioned to date.
We do encourage you to seriously consider the USB Thingee.
