Why choose B-USB Deluxe?

Simple!

B-USB Deluxe is designed from the ground up with performance,
NOT profit in mind!

~B-USB Deluxe is affordable!!!
We have not introduced any type of "dealer profit margin" or
"insane markups" in our pricing. Our beliefs is "performance before
profit". We don't have to pay an assembly line of workers.
Worldwide sales are factory direct, with no dealers to get in the
way. Each and every B-USB Deluxe is hand built with the highest
level of attention by the designer himself. This means that
production levels are going to be low, but the level of attention and
quality is at its highest!

~B-USB Deluxe has ultra low internal impedance characteristics.
The special SLA battery power source used in B-USB is 8-10
times lower in impedance factors over conventional SLA batteries
or even more so over those dreaded switching power supplies
thus resulting in a considerable improvement in speed, dynamics
and resolution!

~B-USB Deluxe has considerable long playing time.  
80+ hours of play time is expected.. or play while the battery
system is charging.

~B-USB Deluxe has no external charging, everything is built inside.
No hassles with a charger connecting inline, just plug the power
cord from the power strip to the B-USB for charging the battery.

~B-USB Deluxe has ZERO capacitors in the signal path...
Its very simple, if you run the signal through a DC coupling
capacitor (even the highest quality version), your going to lose
performance. With no coupling capacitors in the signal path, we
can assure you the best level of detail and resolution possible. 

~B-USB Deluxe has ultra low noise voltage regulation....
Instead of using low quality, industry standard voltage regulators
to regulate the voltage for the critical digital circuitry (to save
money and add in profit), we use ultra wide band ultra low noise
regulators which offer an absolute lower level of noise
characteristic.  Lower noise means much better performance!

~B-USB Deluxe has superior resonance control...
Now this one is very easy. The best sounding resonance control
for audio electronics is made from natural wood. If resonance
control is not correctly addressed, additional ringing and vibrations
are introduced to decrease the performance.

~B-USB Deluxe has no opamps....
Opamps have their place in use. Sometimes they are needed for
I/V applications or gain/buffer applications, this is fine for specific
designs. However with B-USB, those scenarios don't exist so we
can bypass that design approach for the best possible
performance.

~B-USB has no tubes! Completely passive transformer based!  
The reasoning why we prefer ultra high quality signal coupling
transformer to tubed output section is we have found that the
analog output sections in and around the D to A stage of any
CD/DVD player or DAC is extremely sensitive to HF distortions
and mains pollution. Tube circuits are very prone to these
distortions. Also, what are the characteristics of vacuum tubes?
Distortion! Tube circuits require considerably more signal
parts, such as resistors and signal coupling capacitors
(which degrades signal quality), and they also require a socket.
Tube pins and sockets are prone to "oxidation" which limits
connectivity over time, slowly degrading the signal integrity. 
Also, tubes throw off heat that can change the
performance of other critical local circuits by introducing "thermal
distortion". We understand audiophiles love for tubes (and we feel
they have their place for use), however we have a much better
sounding approach in this design.


Performance will be unmatched!
