High-quality audio with 24-bit/96kHz capability
M-Audio has been building affordable interfaces with surprising performance for years. And the Audiophile USB is no exception!

Flexible I/O with 2 pairs of line inputs plus S/PDIF
It's easy to connect audio gear to the M-Audio Audiophile USB. Two pairs of line-level inputs (1/4" TS and RCA) are perfect for hooking up keyboards, drum machines, samplers, and just about anything else. Plus, The Audiophile USB features stereo S/PDIF inputs and outputs, so you can connect devices with digital outputs as well. The S/PDIF port can also pass AC3 and DTS surround-encoded material when connected to a compatible source. The Audiophile USB's RCA line outputs have an independent level control, making monitoring easy.

AC powered for high-performance AD/DA conversion
The M-Audio Audiophile USB delivers great frequency response, dynamic range and noise specs. That's because it uses AC-powered components that deliver better fidelity than bus-powered circuitry.
