Frequently Asked Questions
No, it's a plug-and-play DAC; it draws power and transmits audio data directly via the USB-C connection.
While the DAC improves clarity, the soundstage and overall resolution aren't ideal for professional audio work; better suited for casual enjoyment.
The USB-C connection offers potentially better audio quality and lower noise floor compared to many 3.5mm options, but it sacrifices wider device compatibility.
