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.

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.

This is an amazing upgrade from the cheap yet impressive dac dongle Abigail

I had been using Abigail with my Tforce Yuan Li Dark Soul for a few months. I learned that Yuan Li needs much more power to shine. So I kept looking for a perfect dac that has enough power and also has a 'velvety' sound signature.
After listening through UA3, it significantly improved the sound quality in all the aspects. Bass got accentuated and I am loving how tight and deep it is now. Vocals are impressively forward and the soundstage has widened. I am absolutely loving it. I am getting all this from the single end 3.5mm jack. I'm getting a 4.4 mm cable soon to have even better immersive experience.
The build quality is just awesome. Go for it!
