The Simplest Way to Bridge Analog and Digital Audio with A2D2 Stream

 A common challenge that audiophiles and music enthusiasts encounter is how to incorporate analog devices like  turntables and cassette players into a modern digital systems. Standard Analog to Digital Converters  (ADCs) though available for many years, are not very useful for simple the simple task of live playback of analog sounds on digital devices. Moreover, they often cannot function without a computer. That is where A2D2 Stream comes in – a simple plug  and play device that easily connects your analogue sources to digital sound systems.
This guide explains how  A2D2 Stream works to transform analog signal to digital signal and how you can benefit from it to play your  analog audio on your modern system.


Why Can’t I Just Use Traditional ADCs?
There are several  reasons why traditional ADCs are not ideal for everyday use:


Complicated: Many ADCs need  software, a connection to a PC, or technical knowledge to set up.


Intended for File Storage:  Most ADCs are designed for digitizing analog audio for saving rather than for playing it back on digital  speakers.


Time to Set Up: Setting up a typical ADC can be slow, especially if you are  a user who just wants to listen to music.
That makes traditional ADCs unsuitable for anyone looking  for a simple solution to play analog sound on a new system.
