Computers are fast becoming a great addition to the hi-fi but they're not without their faults. Poor quality soundcards plus jitter - a side effect of digital music stored on computer hard drives - means audio performance can be really lousy. But plug your PC into the 651A and you'll be amazed just how incredible it sounds. Our in-house developed USB audio processor extracts audio data directly from your PC hard drive - bypassing its soundcard - and takes care of the critical digital to analogue conversion process bringing dull and lifeless MP3 files alive like you've never heard them before!
