Music sounds as good as the equipment playing it. And technically, electronic devices like phones and computers have built-in digital audio converters (DACs) that play with regular headphones just fine. Now, put a Flagship grade Portable DAC + Amp combo into the audio chain, and the sound quality gets to a whole new level. The sound becomes clean with the capability of higher quality decoding and with a more captivating presentation. The DAC + Amp Combo achieves the sound quality by converting the digital signal to analogue audio and amplifying it before sending the sound to the headphones or IEMs. Flagship Portable DAC + Amps are made for use on the go, connecting to a cell phone or laptop, as an upgrade to the inferior (in most cases) DACs built-in to those devices.
Factors to consider while buying Portable Amps + DACs :
Connectivity - This defines how you connect the device to the source and headphones. Portable Amps + DAC come with a USB protocol with connector options like Lightening and even USB Type-C. The Typical ports found in portable DAC/Amp combos include RCA stereo, USB, coaxial S/PDIF, 3.5mm jack, and optical or Toslink ports. You also get a Balanced 2.5mm or 4.4mm termination option with particular devices, with 3.5mm being a standard. You also have portable DAC + Amps embedding Bluetooth connectivity for a wireless experience.
Playback Capability - Not all DACs and Amps are built the same. Some offer audio conversion for basic audio formats like mp3, and others have much higher capability to decode DSD and MQA files for the highest-quality listening experience.
Output Capability - This is important to consider as it indicates support for the range of loads, and you must consider reading more about this for your specific headphone.
Compatibility - We spend each day with several electronic devices such as TVs, computers, smartphones, and gaming consoles. It would be tiresome and expensive to have a combo device for each of your audio sources, and that is where compatibility comes into play. You need a device that is compatible with as many of your devices as possible.
