HRT Music Streamer HD

High Definition 1.0
The High Resolution Technologies (HRT) Music Streamer HD is a straight forward device that takes your computer's USB output and converts it into an analog signal that your Hi-Fi can understand. The "HD" part of the name refers to the Music Streamer's ability to handle up to high definition 24-bit/192kHz data—with Apple computers. Windows users can play back up to 24/96 via USB 1.0. According to Scot Markwell of Elite AV Distribution, my contact for this review, "HRT has a very strong philosophy that their products should be 100% Plug-and-Play, without the need for 3rd-party drivers that are not as of yet robust and reliable enough to warrant having our customer base attempt to work with them." I'd say that pretty much makes the Music Streamer HD a Mac-only device.
