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.

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.

HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS DELIVERING POWER-PACKED PERFORMANCE

Asgard 3 is a beast when it comes to performance. The Continuity output stage in the Asgard 3 provides 3.5W into 32 ohms, which is 3.5X more than any older generation of Asgard, while also running 500mW of Class A bias. Agard 3 has plenty of power for almost any headphones, and you don't require balanced headphone cables. Power is sent to the 1/4" socket to get the most demanding headphones to deliver exceptional sound. At the same time, the Asgard 3's low noise floor means you'll be able to power even the most sensitive IEMs.

MODULAR DESIGN FOR EXCEPTIONAL AUDIO PERFORMANCE

Choose either the internal card or the rear-panel analog input, and adjust the gain using the front switches. To experience a complete desktop system, connect the preamp output to your powered monitors or use it as a front end to your speaker power amplifier. Asgard 3 gives you all the freedom you need. As an additional upgrade to the Asgard 3 you can opt for an ES9028 module with Unison USBTM for a world-class delta-sigma DAC. Plus, because of its unique modular design, Asgard 3 will not become obsolete as technology advances— all you need to do is exchange a card!
