Main Review

Lindy has released a USB DAC to for less than £50 which will enhance any digital music collection by upgrading the sound quality from PC, HDTV, CD/DVD player or other audio device.

The USB DAC fits discreetly alongside the selected audio player, and outputs to headphones, amplifiers or powered speakers via a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack or analog phono stereo output. Optical, Coaxial and USB inputs allow for a variety of music sources, with the USB 2.0 input compatible with Windows XP onwards, Linux and Mac OS X with no special drivers required. The LINDY USB DAC also supports hi-resolution music up to 24-bit/192kHz.

I connected the Lindy USB DAC to my computer and plugged in various pairs of headphones. The Lindy USB DAC improved the overall sound quality. Based on the specifications, I would not recommend connecting headphones over 150 ohms.
