With the new S/PDIF Bridge from Halide Design, it is possible to get a high resolution, ultra low jitter digital audio signal straight from your computer, with a single, plug-and-play cable.

Completely plug-and-play on both PC and Mac, the Bridge allows for 24 bit resolution at sampling rates up to 96 kHz, and works with virtually any file type and player.

The Bridge is build upon the solid foundation of the sophisticated USB audio receiver code, Streamlength (tm), by Wavelength Audio. Streamlength (tm) allows the extremely low phase noise clocks inside the Bridge to run as the master audio clock, resulting extraordinarily low jitter output. Since there is no resampling or reclocking, the footprint of the circuit becomes tiny - the Bridge runs smarter, not bigger.

Inside, highly filtered ultralow noise power regulation provides clean power rails for the internal circuitry. A high quality output transformer further isolated the output signal from any computer noise. For more details on the innards of the Bridge, checkout our design page.
