The Bottom Line	The Hi-Fi-Link is an inexpensive way to pipe stereo audio through your computer's USB port.	If you don't mind stringing a wire from your PC to your stereo, the Pro HiFi-Link's sound quality shines.	The reasonably priced Creative Xmod does a remarkable job of making audio sound brighter, deeper, and more vibrant.	Laptop owners looking to boost their audio and increase their home entertainment capabilities should check out the new Creative USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX.
