Sometimes, DAC & Amps embed a built-in microphone so you can use it while gaming. If you are someone working from home, or a professional gamer, you'll benefit from a DAC & Amp with a microphone.
You can expect these DAC & Amps to offer brilliant microphone quality and clear audio so that teammates can hear you at the other end. Just plug them in, and game your way to victory!
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.
Pair with Laptop via USB
A majority of people use a laptop as the primary source device to listen to music or watch movies. Since the laptop is an essential part of the audio chain there are headphones and devices designed to work a laptop or computer system flawlessly. With the availability of USB connectivity, it becomes easier to pair various devices like an Amp, DAC or even headphones without worrying about drivers or any additional piece of software.

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.

A HIGH-TECH PACKAGE THAT WORKS WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY HEADPHONE
The Fulla 3 houses an AKM AK4490 chipset, an Alps RK09 potentiometer, precision thin-film capacitors & resistors, high-quality filter & amp stages from Texas Instruments and more which makes it a power-packed performer that punches way above its price. It can deliver up to 400mW into 16 ohms with a low output impedance and vanishing noise floor. In other words, it works with virtually any headphone.

FAQs
Wait a sec! This seems like a Fulla 2 with a microphone input!
That's exactly what it is. A lot of people wanted a nice, transportable device for gaming, so we added a microphone input to Fulla 2 to make Fulla 3.
But it's the same price as Fulla 2. What did you compromise on in order to add the mic input and keep the same price?
We have secret deals with the Chinese government, who actually make the Fulla 3 for us.
So do you care to answer the question?
Sure. The reason we could add the mic input--- really nice mic input, actually, with a 24-bit AKM ADC, automatic gain control, and full USB integration, so it just shows up on your list of inputs when you plug it inóîis that times have changed, and we make more products more efficiently than ever before. So it doesn't really cost much more to add the feature.
Ah come on! What did you compromise on?
Only one thing, really: we lost the fixed DAC output of Fulla 2 in order to accommodate the mic input. Now, there's only a variable preamp output, with a marker for typical line-level output, rather than separate fixed and variable output. We think it's a fairly good tradeoff. You may disagree.
So otherwise this is just a Fulla 2?
Yep. But let's review what a Fulla 2 is, before you start throwing around that 'just' word. A Fulla 3, like Fulla 2, is a DAC/amp flexible enough to cover pretty much all your desktop needs. It has:
So how does this thing work for gaming?
Plug in your headphones and mic (usually using the TRRS-to-dual-TRS adapter supplied with the headphones), plug the Fulla 3 into your computer, select 'I'm Fulla Schiit' for both audio output and mic input, and you're set. Done.
What about Windows 7 and 8.1?
We provide drivers for this antique version of Windows that is slated to die in January 2020, and for 8.1. Seriously, though, Windows 10 is really good. Time to move on.
So, also on this USB power thing, does that mean I can use a super-crazy linear supply that costs 3X as much as the Fulla 3 to get better performance?
Go back and read what you just asked. Seriously, just use your phone charger or something.
Can I use this with both headphones and powered monitors?
Yep!
Can I use this as just an amp?
Yep!
Can I use this as just a DAC?
Yep! It has variable output, with a marker for typical line-level output.
If I plug in headphonesó_
It automatically mutes the preamp outputs. See, we're getting good at predicting what you're gonna ask. Kinda like autocorrect. But with less embarrassing mistakes. We hope.
Whoa. That's a whole lot of features! How do you do it for $99 in the USA?
By making tons of them, selling direct, and not being greedy.
Hey, I want one of these in silver, not black.
Sorry, only black is available on Fulla 3. Come to the dark side...
Why would I step up to a Hel?
Because you want more power or flexibility. Hel delivers 4x the power of Fulla 3, it has a gain switch for harder-to-drive or more sensitive headphones, it has a switchable analog input, and it has front-panel adjustable microphone gain and a stereo mic input. If any of those features are important, it might be worth $90 more than Fulla 3 for your needs.
So why would I step up to a Magni/Modi stack?
More power, more flexibility, bigger wallet, bigger deskóîremember, Magni/Modi/Vali combos range from $198 to $398, and cover basic USB-powered DACs to True Multibit DACs, solid-state to tube amps. Also, they don't provide microphone input for gaming.
So is this gonna sound great with my headphones?
For most headphones, yes. There are some headphones out there that are very hard to drive, or insanely sensitive. Check with the headphone manufacturer if you're unsure.
Is 400mW into 16 ohms a lot of power?
Well, you're not going to arc-weld with it or anything, but it is about 10x the output power of a typical headphone jack on a computer or mobile device.
What comes in the box, besides the Fulla? Do I get a cable with this?
Yes, we supply a 3' micro USB (to standard USB) cable. Yeah, we know Apple and some other doods are going full-nuts on USB-C. One word: adapters.
What about the 1/8' to XLR, or 1/8' to RCA, or 1/8' to 1/8', or 1/8' to DIN, or whatever cables I need to connect to my speakers or DACs?
That's a lot of cables. And this thing is $99. Check out Monoprice for 1/8' to dual RCA cables and all the other crazy cables you might need.
Can I use a fancier cable to get better sound?
You can do whatever you'd like, including dancing by the light of the full moon and making small, non-living sacrifices to the audiophile gods.
No, seriously.
We are being serious.
I'm asking specifically about the cable.
As long as it's a USB 2.0-rated cable, 2m or less in length, terminated with a micro USB plug on one end, you can use it, sure.

For their size they are pretty powerful. The only DAC of this size that is more powerful is the ₹40k Chord Mojo.
The sound:
Deep deep bass. I am guye who loves natural tonality, fairly neutral signature, natural and precise soundstage.
ANd these give me everything. They have deep deep bass, extended highs which aren't fatiguing at all. The smooth sound is just eargasmic to listen to.
Fulla 2 is warm, which means that they are not neutral. But consider the fact that many neutral cans are bright sounding and somewhat fatiguing so this shit makes for a great synergy with premium cans too.
The mids are very forward, resolving, smooth and detailed. The sound has crispiness but still quite forgiving.
To me, I would buy this or the Audeze Deckard (Class A monster) or any other Class A monster. Nothing beside Fulla 2 looks attractive at this price for a desktop setup.
And I have compared them against the Deckard too. Deckard is great, but this is not far either. Deckard vs. Mojo are far more significant than Deckard vs. Fulla 2.
I had been on the quest to make my JBL LSR 305 studio moniters sound better than how they sounded stock out from my laptop. The word schiit meant nothing to me 6 months back but now is the essence that flavours my music, be it gospel or death metal, classical or progressive, or any other genre under the sun. The fullness of sound that I enjoy today has made me wonder how I enjoyed music all these years without actually listening to it's finer nuances. Be it the soundstage, the clarity lent to the instruments, the sheer depth of the vocals, listening to music on this system gives an aural orgasm next to none. Schiit has made a product that exudes quality from the very box they come in, which complements the grey aluminium finish and the smooth rotary knob that controls the volume. It makes my life using two powered monitors as simple as using computer speakers, only that these blow most computer speakers I have heard, even from reputable brands such as Bose, swans, creative and jbl (non professional ones) out of the water. Thanks schiit for making me an addict. Schiit bifrost multibit... you are next. And thanks headphonezone for your prompt and knowledgeable sales and service team for making the purchase as easy as it could have been.
In three words: Oh my gosh!
About my sources: I'm not a seasoned audiophile, so bear with me. PC, smartphones, iPod shuffle 1st gen are my sources. My current headphones/IEMs aren't anything special either: JVC Harx 700, Hifiman Re-400, Soundmagic E80, Brainwavz Delta, Remax 610D.
My favourite nokia 808(modded) headphone jack died and my Samsungs weren't good enough. Searching for something better, led me here.
I was confused between DAC and DAP but then I found the fulla 2, only avaliable here and researched it. Finally took it over the dragonfly black and red, cayin N3, fiio x3iii.
I'm so happy I did. Thank you headphone zone for making this shit available in India. The sound is amazing. Just plug and play and it blows away the pc and Galaxys out of the water. The bass is really deep and nicely present. The midrange has much more detail and vocals shine in a way that gives me goosebumps. The treble is great too, non fatiguing without noticeable sibilance but still quite revealing.
The best combination was with JVC harx 700. It was anemic before and left in the cupboard. But now, (pause...need to wipe some tears of joy :-D) it's ALIVE. Wow!!.
One thing that's a bit puzzling is that it sounds different with different sources. This DAC works with my symbian nokia 808 too!! With the fulla, the sound is noticeably better than my S6 with the fulla. Onkyo HF player improves it on android but still not as "nice" as on symbian. Android probably just needs some tweaking at the kernel level, perhaps other brands like LG have done better. So, keep in mind that your source can influence how good this thing can sound!
The line out and pre out mean I can use this with my computer speakers too which is a bonus! And its small size makes transportability a breeze! I even can take it for walks paired with my phone and powerbank in a small sling bag with compartments.
In a nutshell, go buy this if you're new to the audiophile world and haven't heard far mo...
