A Second Listen to External Audio

Xitel HiFi-Link , $50,

After it received a poor review in our October issue (" External Audio Enhancers Miss the Mark"), Xitel engineers convinced us to give their HiFi-Link PC-to-stereo connector another try, citing driver issues as a possible culprit. Armed with updated system drivers and a new list of setup tips, we reinstalled the USB-based product--and experienced better audio. In our tests with MP3s and audio CDs, the HiFi-Link produced higher-quality sound than did our test computer's existing sound card; if your PC's current sound is poor, the improvement should be even more noticeable. The 30 feet of shielded audio cable that Xitel includes seals the deal.
