"Provided it is used with a D/A processor that offers effective jitter rejection, the USB Link 24/96 does what Bel Canto promises it will do, and can be recommended. And thank you, Bel Canto, for providing the USB Link 24/96 and e.One DAC3, which so effectively communicated the music."
Stereophile, May 2009

"I've used and listened to many other converters at all price ranges and consider the Bel Canto USB Link a great product to link the traditional world of High-End audio to the new and improved High-End 2.0 where music servers reign and high resolution is the norm. Incredible flexibility, true high resolution capability, and true plug n' play operation make the USB Link a really smart selection for many audiophiles."
Computer Audiophile, August 2009

"The Bel Canto Link will clean up the jitter to a very great degree. Yeah, the Bel Canto Link is killer...In every case the music took on an improved warmth and naturalness with a greater delineation of notes and instruments; no hint of fatigue or analytical nasties to ruin the music. Nice indeed. The Bel Canto is a great way to connect that USB source to a S/DIF DAC… it works and it works quite well. The Bel Canto USB Link is a must have!"
