Advanced NuForce technology delivers highest-resolution audio for superior sound.

If you own a laptop and love music, you need a NuForce uDAC-2. If you're a gamer, uDAC-2 brings realistic sound effects that put you in the game.

The NuForce uDAC-2 is a high-performance, 24bit/96kHz USB Digital Audio Converter (DAC) that connects your personal computer's audio to your home stereo, desktop sound system, or headphones to deliver superior sound. It improves upon our original uDAC model by providing a highly linear TOCOS volume control for improved channel tracking at low listening levels, a 24bit/96kHz USB DAC, and an improved headphone amp.

Nuforce USB Audio devices are designed to work with x86 architecture. Tablet devices running Windows 8 (RT) are not supported.

<b>Powerful sound in a small, affordable package.</b>
Don't let its diminutive size fool you: the uDAC family packs a proverbial punch when it comes to improving the sound you get from your computer, meeting or exceeding the performance of audiophile-grade CD players. uDAC is also flexible: its outputs include analog RCA, digital coaxial, and high-performance headphone outputs to accommodate most computers and self-powering headphones.

<b>Why the little uDAC can make such a big difference.</b>
The DAC (Digital Audio Converter) in most laptops are typically not designed to deliver best-quality sound. This can result in subtle errors in the rebuilding process, diminishing audio quality. Advanced NuForce DACs create a warmer, more detailed approximation of the source file. Audio sounds richer and fuller, with more clarity on the high and and more depth and power in the mids and lows. You'll hear details in your favorite music you never heard before. Your favorite headphones and speakers reproduce sound to their full potential.
