Product Description
Providing Power for the Digital Revolution is the broadly defined mission of Harman Kardon. The popularity of computer-based, compressed-audio formats, such as MP3, has created the need to add a new and otherwise incompatible component to home entertainment systems: the PC. Harman Kardon's DAL 150 EzLink fills that need by providing a digital link that connects the USB port of a compatible PC to the coaxial digital input of a receiver or processor. EzLink can convert an MP3 file or bitstream to PCM format for playback on many audio products. Your receiver may then process the selection using one of the many available surround modes, such as Logic 7. When used with a Harman Kardon A/V receiver, EzLink may be set to simply pass the MP3 bitstream through to the receiver, for onboard MP3 decoding. At Harman Kardon, the future is now.

 "EZ"link.....not Easy!!!! August 4, 2007

Sounded like the perfect go between my computer and my HK Receiver. I LOVE the 7.1 sound I get from the system, but the DAL150 only works with WM 9.0 or earlier. My computer had 10.0 and won't support DAL150, version 9.0 is no longer available, and there are no updates for DAL150...so pretty much a bust. It's just hanging under the desk and no way to use it.
 Harmon Kardon Dal-150 January 24, 2007
This unit is great, but limited. If you just want to play MP3's on your stereo in your living room via Windows Media Player only. This unit is for you. Like most electronics in the past they tend to get replaced or outdated. An updated driver would have kept this unit with todays market making it very useful as just a USB to digital audio coaxial converter but the driver does not exsist.
 Plenty of better options out there October 5, 2004

These are going cheap these days and the main reason is that many computers now ship with built-in digital sound ports. If you have an older computer you can update the sound card to provide digital output pretty easily. The benefit of these other options is that *all* audio output is then digital, not just mp3's that you play through a USB port. (Note that this device doesn't support audio formats other than mp3). Now that I have built-in digital ouput, this thing just sits in a box.

I had high hopes for this product since I was connecting to a Harman Kardon AVR receiver. I simply cannot get it to work!!! Absolutely dismal tech support, there is no indicator on the unit itself to confirm signal, unit comes with a 3' coax cable so if you are in the 98% of people whose computer doesn't share space with your home audio system, you're screwed. Tried a high-quality digital cable longer than the one supplied and it will not work. I am moving on and buying a Xitel setup. Harman Kardon I love your equipment, but how did this little device make it through R&D without getting squashed?
 Almost done.... December 20, 2002

It does not support Winamp only windows media player 7.1 :( If you lose the install cd you are SOL on getting drivers since they are not available from their website. Otherwise it is a functional product that works quite well and is easy to operate.
