DAC Chip
You may not even realise it, but most of us use a digital-to-analogue converter (commonly known as a DAC) daily. Built into your computers, tablets and smartphones, a DAC is fundamental to unlocking the convenience of digital music. Any device that acts as a digital sound source will need a DAC to convert digital audio to analog. A DAC converts the digital information stored in “0s and 1s” into an analog signal that's passed to speakers or headphones and ultimately our ear. In short, DACs play a large part in making digital music hearable. 

While this technical process is undoubtedly impressive, the DAC embedded into your smartphones or laptops is nowhere good enough to listen to your favourite music recordings in high quality. So, if you want to listen to music in high quality, an external DAC is essential to allow headphones or speakers to perform at their potential. An external DAC, first and foremost, will improve audio quality dramatically.

Connect With XLR/TRS, 9-pin
(AES/EBU) & Optical, USB

Volume Controls

If your DAC & Amps include volume controls or volume rockers, you can easily change the volume with a button press or volume knob turn.


DAC & Amps that have volume controls make its operation incredibly simple; turn up the volume on your smartphone or your source devices and then change the volume on DAC & Amps to the desired level.


This design feature allows you to have complete control over the desired volume according to your listening preferences.

Small but packs a Punch

Its been one day of listing to this ... but i do feel the change. I had a very unique requirement. I am using this as a sound processor (mainly EQ for room correction). I did have analog Eq's but for some reason i was not very happy with it. I needed a parametric type. I am now using this as a pre-amp driving my Emotive DR2 power amp & i can feel the difference after applying some corrections. I have spent only a few hours now. I do know the basics but i know it will take time to use the full potential of this. Overall very very happy. It really does work. I will add more as i use it. First impression is good ....... love it. Only thing i felt sad was it was very small i mean really ... for the money i was like come on little big hehehe ... but the performance makes up for that ...Also a big thanks to HZ team they were with me all the way, it did take time to reach as it was pre-order but they stood besides me, felt good ....thank you team....

Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice!
