Details

The Audioengine DAC3 Digital Analog Converter DAC3 is a 32-bit / 96 kHz digital to analog converter (DAC) and headphone amplifier designed to provide high-quality headphone listening for audiophiles on the go. The tiny, lightweight device attaches to your computer or mobile device via a USB-C port, supplying the unit with power. Digital audio from your source is converted and sent to the headphone amp, which outputs to a standard 3.5mm output jack; the headphone amp is compatible with a wide range of headphones and earbuds with impedances ranging from 12 ohms to 10 kilohms. Lightning and USB-C cables are supplied, allowing you to use the DAC3 with both Android and iOS mobile devices.
