'Generic Budget USB to AES Converter Review'

Dec 30, 2024

This is a review and detailed measurements of a generic USB to balanced AES digital converter sold on Aliexpress. It was kindly drop shipped by a member and costs US $17.02.

The converter is everything you want it to be: simple with a robust aluminum case and even included USB cables! Member interest is in using such converters with professional studio monitors that only have AES input. Let's see if it can transfer digital bits from USB to AES including timing without spoilage.

Quloos QU02 USB Bridge

Has lots of nice features including powering the USB receiver internally and not from PC USB.

Been reliable for me for 2 years.

Also not a company that rolls over models every 3 months which indicates (subjectively) to me that they design a product for the long haul and hence take the time to get it right first time.

Won't rabbit on about blacker blacks, veils lifted etc...it does it's job, has excellent tech inside, is reliable and good looking.

And has a nice price for what you get.
