M-Audio has announced the immediate availability of its new Transit Pro USB to optical digital/DSD (Direct Stream Digital) converter.
M-Audio developed the Transit Pro in response to a critical market need for a compact, super high-performance converter capable of taking an audio signal from a computer and delivering the highest quality digital signal to any audio component with an optical digital input.
The key to Transit Pro’s outstanding audio performance is its 32bit/384kHz digital “engine,” which delivers a super-wide bandwidth frequency response, ultra-wide dynamic range and a totally inaudible noise floor. There are eight user-selectable sampling rates between 44.1 and 384kHz so users can achieve the exact performance level needed for any given circumstance.
Transit Pro has a built-in high quality headphone amplifier with both ¼-inch and 1/8-inch jacks, for connecting any headphones directly without the need for an adapter. Transit Pro is USB-bus-powered or it can use an optional AC wall adapter (not included). Transit Pro is the answer when there’s need to deliver a reference-quality digital signal, going from a computer to an external audio component.
“The Transit Pro fulfills a critical role for people who need a compact device of the very highest quality for converting USB-audio signals to optical digital,” said JC Sutherland, Product Manager for M-Audio. “The eight user-selectable sampling rates, vanishingly low distortion and superb signal-to-noise ratio are all testimony to the seriousness of purpose and amazing performance built into this trim unit. Users are going to love it.”
