Bel Canto 24/96 USB to ST Glass-Fibre interface
e.One: Passion for musical expression and technical virtuosity The Bel Canto USB Light Link 24/96 opens up a high resolution audio link from your laptop or desktop computer to your Audio D/A Converter.
If you've gathered much of your music on hard disk you've without doubt thought of how to keep your computer handy while running a long USB connection to your DAC. Of course, USB is only good for about 15 feet and you may need more. Enter the 24/96 Light Link; run a USB cable to its input and it converts the signal to ST High Speed Glass-Fiber which does long runs with ease and further decouples the computer from your audio system. At the other end plug the Light Link into an ST Glass-Fiber input and the job is done! Now you don't have to get up for anything!
(Note: Requires Glass Fiber Cable - Sold separately)
The USB Light Link converts a digital signal from USB to ST Fiber (AT&T) for use with the DAC3.5VB or any other ST Fiber equipped device. ST Fiber cabling can be run over 100 meters without signal degredation.
Features:
Converts USB computer sources to ST Glass-Fiber.

Uses native drivers with either the Mac or Windows operating systems.
System volume control is disabled. Low jitter clock recovery with a low noise Crystal Oscillator.
Self powered from USB input with LC filters and local power regulation.
Galvanic isolation between your computer source and audio system prevents computer noise from entering the audio signal path.

Quality ST Glass-Fiber cable (Optional) connects with the Bel Canto DAC3.5VB or any quality audio DAC with ST Glass-Fiber input and can extend to at least 300 Meters without signal loss.
Operating Instructions:
Just plug in your type B USB cable connector from the computer to the USB input on the USB Light Link. The red LED will light indicating that it is powered up and your MAC or Windows operating system will automatically recognize the USB Link and identify it as ‘Bel Canto 2496 USB’ in the Sounds and Audio Devices Windows Control Panel or the Mac Midi Utility. Plug the ST Glass-Fiber output into your choice of cable (Bel Canto offers a quality 3M cable) and then plug into the Glass-Fiber input on your audio DAC. You are now ready to play music from your computer!
Mac OS X Operating Note: You will want to insure that the Midi Setup Utility is used to select the native playback rate for the source material, 44.1 kHz for CD and 88.2 or 96 kHz for higher data rate source material. The USB Light Link is a 24 bit data path for all source material.
Windows XP or Vista Operating Note: Because the USB Light Link is a 24 bit playback device the Windows operating system and Windows Media Player 9 or later versions will automatically decode HDCD material for correct playback even with NON HDCD DACs.
