The HIPPOhi-fi Bloat

Unique in its design, the Bloat is high fidelity digital to analog converter for audiophile quality sound integration with car audio systems.  Using a 24-bit BurrBrown DAC and dual opamps its the perfect solution for Carputer users seeking a high output source for feeding amplifiers with or without using a headunit.  The Bloat is small, simple and built using the highest quality components with musical accuracy in mind.  Powered only by the USB- it turns on and off with the computer and is since it doesn't require any software, it is hibernation friendly.  Don't let its small size or simplicity fool you- the Bloat will blow you away with its sound quality and musical reproduction.

Simple and Flexible

Installation?  Plug it in!  Your computer will pick it up as a USB sound device and start streaming audio right to it. The Bloat works by taking that digital audio stream over USB and converting it to the usable analog signal, also boosting its strength with good, clean power via its dual opamps.  What you get is amazing, powerful sound that is crisp, clear and will not pick up interference from the computer's hardware or electrical components in your vehicle.  Best yet, the audio can be processed solely on the computer or the signal from the Bloat can be routed to a "traditional" analog processor or directly to your amplifiers for any EQ, crossover and volume control option imagineable.

The Bloat is not a Soundcard!
All soundcards have weaknesses that the Bloat addresses.  First is software, often a limiting factor of a soundcard and can include unessary "bloatware".  The Bloat responds to whatever digital signal is sent to it allowing you to use any software you choose or non at all- sound can even be controlled via your front end of choice!  Eliminating hardware noise associated with even the best onboard soundcards while giving the high voltage RCA outputs car audio systems need (which all typical USB soundcards lack), the Bloat is the all-in-one audio solution the Carputer community has been searching for.
