Bel Canto USB Link 24/96 Reviews

Computer Audiophile
"...the Bel Canto USB Link may seem a little expensive at first blush. But, considering the solid implementation of this conversion technology and the absolute ease of use the price is just right in my opinion. I've used and listened to many other converters at all price ranges and consider the Bel Canto USB Link a great product to link the traditional world of High-End audio to the new and improved High-End 2.0 where music servers reign and high resolution is the norm. The USB Link is a great tool in my toolbox as a reviewer and is a great addition to most listener's audio systems for every day use. Incredible flexibility, true high resolution capability, and true plug n' play operation make the USB Link a really smart selection for many audiophiles."
Absolute Sound
"The USB Link 24/96 is a cleverly conceived USB-to-S/PDIF converter that enables any PC to play music through virtually any DAC. Along with this flexibility comes higher resolution than most USB-capable DACs, plus a less plastic, more dynamic, airier sound. The Link cannot completely overcome USB’s intrinsic sonic limitations, but it is ideal for those who must use that interface."

"The Bel Canto Link will clean up the jitter (and all that noise and crap that USB carries from your computer) to a very great degree. Easy to use (plug and play) the Link addresses things that some USB connections are unable to …the Bel Canto guys know their stuff and the Link really cleans up the digital signal. Yeah, the Bel Canto Link is killer. With the Link in the chain, the music was now more holographic-ly dimensional with less edge and grain...I found that the Link worked equally well with any DAC I tossed its way, including the Cary 306 Professional. In every case the music took on an improved warmth and naturalness with a greater delineation of notes and instruments; no hint of fatigue or analytical nasties to ruin the music. Nice indeed. The Bel Canto is a great way to connect that USB source to a S/DIF DAC… it works and it works quite well. The Bel Canto USB Link is a must have!"
Stereophile
"Provided it is used with a D/A processor that offers effective jitter rejection, the USB Link 24/96 does what Bel Canto promises it will do, and can be recommended... thank you, Bel Canto, for providing the USB Link 24/96 and e.One DAC3, which so effectively communicated the music."
