Proper Hi-Fi DAC

ESS Sabre ES9038Q2m DAC chip can be found in multiple Hi-Fi portable players and desktop DACs, providing UA2 with a sound quality significantly higher than any modern smartphone or standard USB headphone adapter.

768 kHz / 32 bit

Adding Headphone Amplifier

Great DAC needs a matching amplifier, so we added a dedicated headphone amplifier into the UA2, producing more power and cleaner output. Our choice was the Ricore RT6863, which was designed espically for use with ESS DACs.

195 mW@ 32 Ω 

Extra Low Noise

By using a low-dropout regulator, we managed to control overall levels of a background noise, keeping the sound clear and without any unwanted noise or hiss. Ideal for even the most sensitive earphones.

Switch Mode - Hi-Fi for gamers
