AUDIOENGINE INTRODUCES A NEW PORTABLE HEADPHONE AMP & DAC!
In 2005, Audioengine was founded on a simple goal: Design purpose-built home music systems that sound great, are easy to use, and make people want to listen to music every day. Each new product gives listeners well-thought updates and improvements inspired by all the ways people listen to their music. The new DAC3 is no exception.
Designed smaller for portability with the added power for your hi-res music, DAC3 is the perfect blend of power that audiophiles love to feel and the modern functionality we all depend on.
PORTABLE YET POWERFUL | so you hear ALL of your music
DAC3 is a powerful yet portable headphone amplifier and DAC that delivers enhanced, high resolution audio to your headphones or speakers from your phone, tablet or computer. Though small in size, DAC3 playback performance reveals stunning detail and music clarity headphones often miss when connected directly to your streaming device.
HI-PERFORMANCE AMPLIFIER | for the most demanding headphone enthusiast
DAC3 uses a high-performance headphone amplifier which drives audiophile-grade headphones with ease and ensures plenty of headroom for your headset. Experience maximum dynamic range with the capacity to support the most demanding headphones.
DAC3 isn't just for headphones. Variable line-level output can be connected to any system with an analog audio input, such as Audioengine powered speakers or an A/V receiver
EASY SETUP, VERSATILE PLAYBACK | no batteries, no charging, no hassle
With only 3 steps to connect and no batteries or charging required, your new DAC is ready to go right out of the box. DAC3 simply draws its meager power requirement via a double regulated USB-C connection. Just plug into your iPhone, Android, tablet, or your computer and let DAC3 expose you to the missing resolution in your favorite music.
The wired connection gives DAC3 its flex, full-range power for your headphones, and support for your hi-res music files or apps.
