USB audio converter ships

Trends Audio has launched its UD-10 USB Audio Converter, a device that provides four concurrent digital outputs for connecting to external Digital to Analog Converters (DACs). Digital outputs include one optical port, two coaxial connections, one AES/EBU plug, and a high-quality decoded headphone port. A bundled adapter plugs in via RCA to the Trends TA-10 Class-T Stereo Audio Amplifier for audio playback, and the converter includes a ±10ppm crystal clock alongside proprietary dual power regulation circuits to ensure regulated power regardless of the source (USB or external socket). The company says the device is constructed from audiophile-grade materials and electronic components, including high-quality SMD resistors and capacitors. Each UD-10 USB Audio Converter features an iron-grey whole aluminum case, and ships for $90.
