Audio Feature Summary
- The LINK II uses an ultra-low phase noise oscillator
- Power circuitry is synchronized to the USB audio clock
- Ethernet input is synchronized to the USB audio clock
- Three independent switching regulators are synchronized to the audio clock. This ensures that the fluctuations of the switching circuit are in time with that of the audio clock reducing fluctuations and noise interference.
- Nine organic low resistance capacitors help filter and purify the power.
- A triple linear regulated circuit purifies remaining noise.
- The USB audio output and clock circuit has its own independent power rail
- Multi-stage ultra-low noise linear regulated power circuit
- USB audio optimized output provides jitter free audio layback
- The advanced clock circuitry re-clocks any USB input

- Machined from a solid billet of aluminum
- Incorporates EMI absorbing material to remove internal EMI
- The mass of the case dissipates air-borne vibration
- Incorporates AVDC vibration trap
