Features of the USB DAC AMPLIFIER
Easy playback of music on your computer
Just complete Preps 1 to 4 in this Help Guide to connect your computer to the USB DAC AMPLIFIER.
Then you are ready to enjoy music on your computer.
Playback of high-quality sound
The USB DAC AMPLIFIER can play High-Resolution Audio files such as PCM 192 kHz/32 bit and DSD
(Direct Stream Digital) audio files.
Furthermore, the USB DAC AMPLIFIER gives a more natural and expansive sound to compressed audio
files, such as MP3s, by restoring high-frequency sound and almost imperceptible sounds during fade-
out, which are usually lost due to compression.
Playback of music on a smartphone or Walkman that supports
High-Resolution Audio
Audio file formats for Android devices and smartphones such as iPhone or for Walkman devices that
support High-Resolution Audio are also supported by the USB DAC AMPLIFIER.
