High Quality Audio That Goes Straight to Your Head

Inside the DAC3 is a high-performance headphone amplifier that takes your headphones and takes the highs even higher and the lows even lower.

Plus, the DAC3 features a variable line-level output that gives you greater control, flexibility, and improved sound quality. Which means you can use it with a wide range of equipment to optimize your listening experience.

Easy to Hold, Impressive to Behold

Small? Yes. Powerful? Definitely. The DAC3's playback performance gives you detail and clarity your headphones usually can't provide. It's like the difference between reading a description of a concert and actually being there.

Give Your Headphones a Promotion

Here's what you'll love about the DAC3 (Warning: lots of nerd-speak ahead):

  • ES9281A PRO Ultra DAC delivers 32-bit precision, high dynamic range, and ultra low distortion (Translation: it delivers amazing sound)
  • High-performance amplifier that easily drives headphones with impedances of 12 ohms or higher (This means it makes a great pair of headphones sound even better)
  • Broad support for standard hi-res audio formats including MQA, PCM, and DSD (Consider these senior-level formats, unlike freshman-level MP3 or WAV files)
  • Enhanced playback from your HD streaming apps, like TIDAL, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Qobuz, and more

Finally, Frustration Free Setup

You won't need batteries or charging. You also won't need additional software or drivers. The DAC3 draws what little power it needs through a double regulated USB-C connection. Just plug the included cables into your phone, tablet or computer and let the DAC3 show you everything you've been missing from your music.
