Frequently Asked Questions

The headphone output is surprisingly good, but a dedicated amp will offer more power and potentially more refined sound, especially with high-impedance headphones.
It's a fully compliant AES3 professional standard implementation; I’ve used it with high-end digital consoles without issue.
Sonifex prioritizes transparency, so there's no aggressive jitter shaping; the focus is on clean conversion, not artificial improvements.
