The DrPhone DAAC3 is a digital to analogue audio converter (DAC) that converts digital signals to analogue stereo output via RCA and 3.5 mm jack. Ideal for gamers and audio enthusiasts who want to connect their digital sources such as PC, game console or Blu-ray player to analogue speakers or headphones.
Main advantages
- Supports high sampling rates up to 192 kHz/24 bit for optimal sound quality
- Compatible with digital inputs via USB, optical SPDIF and coaxial
- Amplifies headphones with impedances from 32 to 600 Ω
- Includes remote control and volume control for ease of use
- Compact aluminium design with dimensions of 98x80x28 mm and light weight of 122 grams
Challenge and solution
Many digital audio devices do not offer direct analogue output for older amplifiers or headphones. The DrPhone DAAC3 solves this by converting digital signals from various sources to analogue stereo outputs, allowing you to easily play high-quality audio through analogue equipment without loss of quality.
What is this product used for?
- Connecting PC, laptop or game console to analogue speakers or headphones
- Improving audio output from Blu-ray players, DVD players and HDTVs
- Use with headphones within 32-600 Ω impedance for optimal amplification
- Audio conversion in home and professional audio environments
Technical explanation
The DAAC3 converts digital PCM/LPCM signals via USB, optical SPDIF or coaxial inputs to analogue stereo outputs via RCA and 3.5 mm jack. It supports sampling rates from 32 kHz to 192 kHz at 24 bit resolution. The built-in headphone amplifier delivers 125 mW per channel at 32 Ω, suitable for a wide range of headphones. The volume control and remote control provide easy sound control.
