If you run a professional sound system and need to play audio from a laptop, then you’ll know that on-board soundcards are usually poor quality and typically have high levels of background noise. In addition, laptops can introduce noise and mains hum into the system through the use of cheap, switched-mode power supplies etc. This unit contains a high quality USB soundcard (for playback only), with ground-lifted, transformer isolated, balanced outputs, which solve both of these issues. You could spend a lot more on a top-end Radial Engineering USB-Pro, or you spend a fraction of that amount on this unit. Its well built, sounds great, and requires no drivers when plugged into a PC. I tried it with Windows 7 64-bit, and Windows 8 64-bit, and it worked straight away. Absolutely brilliant.

It’s plug and play, so it’s easy to use. The sound quality is much better than using the headphone out. I use it with my MacBook and MainStage to connect to our PA system. This is the third unit I bought as I have given two away to other musicians that needed a high quality digital to analog converter. It’s quiet, with great frequency response. It’s essential gear for me!

As a musician, this USB interface has been a game-changer. The audio quality is great, providing a crystal-clear output signal from my computer. The plug-and-play simplicity makes setup a breeze. I appreciate the sturdy construction, and the interface’s low-latency performance ensures a seamless playback experience. I use this I. A live environment to playback multitracks to FOH and in-ears. It’s become an essential part of my setup, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommended for fellow musicians!

Quedé impresionado con esto, es tan fácil de usar y se ve robusto, no se cuanto tiempo dure pero me gustaría comprar otro por si lo descontinuan en un futuro.

So this is a really simple way to get isolated balanced outputs from a computer. I bought this due to excessive noise on the analog outputs from my PC and from a separate asus xonar soundcard. This has eliminated the slight noise I was getting out of those ports.
This is a super simple device, so it should be rock solid reliable. I took it apart as soon as I got it to see how it’s setup. It’s using a TI PCM2705 USB Audio chip, which is pretty simple but very reliable. It then uses a couple transformers to presumably isolate the output (maybe provide inverted signal for balanced output? I’m not a super electrical guy…) I have read some people complaining that the transformers color the sound (attenuate higher frequencies or something?), but I haven’t noticed anything like that. I am using this in live sound applications only, so room acoustics usually present much larger “coloring” issues that I have to deal with.
The only thing I have noticed is the level output from this is pretty low, so I do have to bump up gain going into the mixer, but it’s not really an issue.
So to summarize, this thing uses a reliable bus powered usb audio chip, so you don’t need any special drivers or power supplies, and it outputs balanced XLR connections that are nicely noise free.

le produit est excellent mais trop méconnue c’est pourtant un excellent choix pour les professionnels de l événementiel

We use this with Propresenter for sound output instead of the headphone jack – no more noise gate required! Works great on Mac.

La utilizo para sacar audio digital de un iPad y funciona sin problemas. No requiere un powered-hub y el iPad es capaz de levantarlo por sí solo. Cumple al 100% su función y el material es muy resistente y durable

I bought this to improve the audio output from the DJ’s laptop for karaoke nights and it has really helped make things sound better. It doesn’t require a driver and is powered from the USB bus. It only has XLR outputs, but that is all I needed. If you need 1/4″ TRS outputs then this is probably not the best solution.

Installed two of these sound output circuits on church Mac computers.
Got rid hum. Clean, full spectrum playback.

This device does exactly what it is intended to do: no more, no less. But it does it extremely well. I stumbled across this when trying to find a way to eliminate 60 cycle hum when routing laptop audio into my church PA system. A direct-box works well enough, with the ground-lift switch, but I absolutely hated using the headphone jack on my laptop. The 1/8 connectors always seemed to be an inferior connection. When bumped the audio would pop, or cut in and out.
This Audio Interface is much superior. It was designed for the exact use case for which I needed it. It eliminates the 60 cycle hum very efficiently. The USB connection has more than enough through-put to carry high-quality audio, and even better, is a very solid and secure connection. No more popping and clipping! The device converts the audio to a balanced analog signal with stereo XLR outputs. The only option on the device is to run mono or stereo. The interface is very solidly built, feels like it could take a lot of abuse. Also, I had no problem with drivers, they automatically install when you plug it in. If I am remembering right, it even worked on my Linux system with no issues!
If you want a good and secure way to send audio from you laptop to a PA or mixer, I would highly recommend the Peavey USB Audio Interface.

This is a great tool for anyone looking to hook up their laptop or pc to a sound system. It is especially useful in PA applications and church venues; I bought two of these for one of our church campuses that uses one Macbook laptop for Pro Presenter worship slides and videos, and for another laptop for the stream from our main campus. I recommend purchasing, as I did, rf choked USB cables: we have had problems with radio frequency pick up in our audio lines and the ferrite cobalt magnets reject rf. The transformed circuits in the USB-P insures no ground loops ie NO HUM! I tested the units on my multimedia pc and found the USB-P to have a pristine, noise free output to my jbl powered studio monitors. Please note that this device does not contain ASIO drivers so it does not apply well to multitrack software applications; you will find that the sound crackles a bit. But for an application where you want to get clean stereo or mono sound from your computer to your sound system, the USB-P Shines. I would recommend it to others and will probably be purchasing more in the future.

Being just an D to A output only, I would expect the sound quality to be exceptional. And it was. My only grieving point, was that it is only 16 bit output. But still it is a very practical product and should work well in most scenarios.
