Title: Pretty Cool Device
Review: I bought this from Amazon last week and hooked it up over the weekend. It did in fact come with an owner's manual and USB cable (not like what was stated in another review). The setup was very easy. I use a Altec Lansing 2.1 speaker system. The spatial effect adds a lot to their sound and because there is a subwoofer fader knob on the front I can now adjust it without having to crawl under my desk when the song I'm listening to has too much bass. Also impressive is the 3D effects when using headphones. I had no idea they could sound that good. On the back is a coax and optical digital output. I ran the optical out to my Marantz receiver and after fiddling with the inputs on the receiver I was pumping MP3 files from my computer to my stereo. It sounded just fine to me. I would recommend the Philips PSC805/17 to anyone who enjoys music and is tied to a computer like I am.
Is the review positive or negative?
