"ARX released our first USB DI back in 2007 and the unit has become an industry standard for USB - analogue audio conversion," says ARX managing director, Colin Park.
"Recently, we've been looking at where and how ARX's USB DIs are being used, and concluded that along with USB enabled devices, some users also stored their audio playback material on tablet devices, phones and iPads which have no direct USB digital outputs, and that interfacing these devices outputs reliably with the professional world of balanced audio can be a problem.
"At ARX we concluded that our new second generation 'USB DI Plus' should offer users a 'one box - dual mode' solution to both their USB digital and analogue audio interface needs. To put it simply - Two DIs in one!"
In conclusion, Colin says, "Both the USB DI Plus digital and analogue operating modes feature full transformer balanced output isolation. This eliminates earth loops / ground hum and helps remove extraneous interaction noise and distortion ensuring ultra-low noise operation even in the harshest audio environments."
