Postive Feedback Online - Issue #43

"Not just bargain of the year but one of the greatest audiophile bargains of all time, the HRT Music Streamer II is going to change the computer audio map forever. A 96kHz, 24 bit DAC with asynchronous USB input, the Streamer II goes spec for spec against excellent multi-thousand dollar DACs from Ayre, dCS and Wavelength… Its bigger brothers (Streamer II Plus and Streamer Pro) offer improved performance at slightly higher price points and the upcoming Streamer HD brings 192kHz sampling rates. Even on the briefest of auditions, it’s clear this really is a game-changer."

- The Absolute Sound, Best of CES 2010 "Greatest Bargain Award"
