The Fiio D5 Coaxial / USB Decoder connects to a computer via a USB connector, and functions as both, an external sound card, as well as a dual microphone input interface. It is suitable for high fidelity audio playback, voice recordings and network voice applications. The D5 Decoder features a coaxial output that provides output stereo PCM digital audio, and can be connected to an external DAC or any other coaxial audio device. In addition, it comes with a 3.5mm output for connecting your headphones.
With the stereo line out, the device can be directly connected to an amplifier or speaker. Moreover, the line out is automatically muted once headphones are connected. The decoder draws power via the USB connector itself and hence does not need any external power cabling.

Comments about Fiio D5 Coaxial / USB Decoder:
I was looking for a usb microphone input device for voice overs and the the D5 has two mic inputs, usb in/out and a headphone jack, which would make this a great universal device. the build quality is awesome too, as the enclosure is made from metal, which was a nice surprise.
unfortunately the mic input sound level was fairly low and had to be amplified in software, which caused a hissing noise... the headphone sound wasn't as clean either. I returned this item and purchased a Griffin iMic instead

I bought this product as gift for my dad. He wanted to use it to link a cassette tape player to his laptop in order to record audio from the cassette to the laptop. This product works awesomely to allow him to do that and was not at all complicated to understand how to use. Score!!!
