Miêu tả của hãng về sản phẩm :
Innovative NuForce technology delivers
highest-resolution audio for ultimate mobile sound.
At work or on the go, if you own a computer
and love music you need the NuForce uDAC-3. If you're a gamer,
the uDAC-3 delivers realistic sound effects that really put you
"in the game." If you're a musician and need a quality portable
monitoring solution with USB DAC & headphone amp capabilities,
then the uDAC-3 is a must.
The NuForce uDAC-3 delivers truly superior
sound via a high-performance, 24bit/96kHz USB Digital Audio
Converter (DAC) and allows you to connect digital audio from
your computer to your home stereo, desktop sound system, powered
speakers or headphones. Employing the latest asynchronous USB
communication for reduced jitter performance, you can be certain
that you'll always hear a harmonically accurate presentation.
Furthermore, for limited DSD support the uDAC-3 is endowed with
the latest Direct-Stream Digital (DSD) decoding capability
(requires NuForce supplied driver and Foobar2000 media player).
Additional features include a quality headphone amp and a highly
linear TOCOS volume control for improved channel tracking at low
listening levels.
To further ensure genuine audiophile
performance, only the purest analog circuit topology has been
employed within the uDAC-3, which among other features includes
the elimination of all capacitors from the signal path. The
uDAC-3 derives its operating power directly from the USB port of
your computer and then engages a special "boost" circuit that
ensures ample voltage is always available for explosive
reproduction of high-speed musical dynamics. In addition, USB
power means it travels with you easily too, as no bulky external
power source is required.
* NuForce USB Audio devices are designed
to work with x86 architecture and Mac OS. Tablet devices running
Windows 8 (RT) are not supported.
Powerful sound in a small, affordable
package:
Don't let its diminutive size fool you: the
uDAC family packs a real punch when it comes to improving the
sound you'll get from your computer; meeting or exceeding the
performance of many audiophile-grade CD players. The uDAC-3 is
flexible too: its outputs include stereo analog RCA jacks,
digital S/PDIF coaxial, and a high-performance headphone output
that accommodates most headphones.
Why the little uDAC can make such a big
difference:
Due to cost considerations, the DAC and
headphone amp stages employed in most computers are typically
not designed to deliver best-quality sound. This can result in
subtle errors in the conversion and amplification processes,
which diminishes audio quality. Advanced NuForce design yields a
warmer, more detailed and a fundamentally more accurate
rendering of the source file. Music through the uDAC-3 sounds
richer and fuller with more clarity in the highs, more "body" in
the mids, and more depth and power in the lows. You'll hear
details in your favorite tunes as you've never heard them
before. Your favorite headphones and speakers will finally
reproduce sound to their full potential too.
