uDAC
USB DAC, Headphone Amplifier and pre amplifier

The NuForce uDAC is a high-performance USB Digital Audio Converter (DAC) that connects your personal computer's audio with your home stereo, desktop sound system, or headphones. The quality and versatility of the uDAC's performance belies its diminutive size. With its extensive power supply, filtering capabilities and charge-pump circuit as a foundation, the uDAC processes incoming data via a USB audio receiver. A D/A converter chip then translates the data to a two-volt analog signal.The NuForce uDAC's performance equals or exceeds that of a great many audiophile CD players. The unit's exemplary flexibility -- analog RCA, digital coaxial, and high-performance headphone outputs -- is bound to satisfy the needs of the most critical music lover.

Features:

  • Discrete USB audio receiver and D/A converter
  • Coaxial S/PDIF output (turn off volume control to activate)
  • Double jitter-reduction mechanism at data level and at oversampling filter stage
  • High voltage 2V analog output
  • High-quality analog volume control
  • No capacitors in any of the audio signal paths
  • Low power consumption; USB self-powered
  • USB powered, no external power supply required
  • Headphones impedance between 16 ohm to 300 ohm are suitable for use with Icon uDAC
