The NuForce uDAC2 is a high-performance 24bit/96kHz USB Digital Audio Converter (DAC) that connects your personal computer's audio with your home stereo, desktop sound system, or headphones.

The quality and versatility of the uDAC2's performance belies its diminutive size. With its extensive power supply, filtering capabilities and charge-pump circuit as a foundation, the uDAC2 processes incoming data via a USB audio receiver.

A D/A converter chip then translates the data to a two-volt analog signal. The NuForce uDAC2’s performance equals or exceeds that of a great many audiophile CD players. The unit’s exemplary flexibility –– analog RCA, digital coaxial, and high-performance headphone outputs –– is bound to satisfy the needs of the most critical music lover.
