M-Audio Audiophile USB

Audiophile USB is a compact audio and MIDI interface that builds on the success of our popular Audiophile 2496—awarded Best Soundcard by Computer Music magazine. AC-powered components allow Audiophile USB to deliver some of the best fidelity, frequency response, dynamic range and noise specs available in a USB interface. You also get digital I/O for pristine transfers, as well as the ability to pass AC-3 and DTS surround sound signals. MIDI I/O rounds out a great compact interface that’s easy to take anywhere you want to take your music.
