This little device is perfect to fit between a PC, laptop, notebook, USB slot and any coaxial input (e.g. DAC). The Muse USB/DAC PCM2704 is very small (less than the size of a pack of ten cigarettes), well made, powered from the USB slot, and lit by a red LED. The coaxial output socket is of good quality. It installs in Windows (XP, and 7 tested) without need for software, and is easily found in the device list of sound devices. It appears to offer 16bit 44.1 and 48 sample rates, although the quality at 44.1 is so good I haven't felt the need to change it.
The sound features deep, taut and tuneful bass, a clear and accurate mid range, and treble which is never too bright or shrill. It is also so detailed and musical, the listener is able to detect the difference between a monitor display being off or on. At under twenty pounds it is truly a bargain. Delivery was within one week of order. A very good purchase for anyone wanting decent sound from their computer devices.
