DACport has a niche USB sound system that promises to bring increased music fidelity to your computer as well as more volume. Digital recordings that are compressed to popular formats like MP3 and OGG do suffer some of the side effects of being shrunk down; those with an ear for audio miss the fine details removed from their originals. The DACport from CEntrance packs a 24-bit DAC that can improve and restore quality back to your down-sampled compressed digital recordings. Their AdaptiWave technology requires no drivers or software all the work is done inside the hot-dog sized adapter.
Those of you lucky enough to have truly audiophile-class headphones will know that volume traditionally has been a serious problem. Better headphone drivers require more power to push and therefore volume is significantly lower compared to cheaper smaller headphones. DACport to the rescue, it packs a Class A amplifier streamlined to maintain signal quality and power. These two features work together to send more juice to your cans. The only drawback is the price, however. Centrance wants $500 for this ear candy, but if you have to have studio quality sound reproduction on the move this maybe just about the only game in town.Permanent Link
