Its compact, driver-free design supports USB input and converts to optical output, making it a versatile, budget-friendly upgrade for audiophiles and professionals seeking premium sound clarity on the go. ## Description Hifimediy Sabre DAC was developed by DIY (do it yourself} enthusiasts in the purpose of making a really good but cheap dac that could compete against regular commercial DAC's costing many times as much. It utilises a DAC chip from the ESS Technology which range of DAC chips is highly regarded amount audio enthusiast. You pay for the sound, not the enclosure. We use a small lightweight simple box, so you don't have to pay extra for a bigger and more expensive enclosure. The power supply is very important for the sound quality. We use a high end ultra low noise regulator (LT1763). Features: - Output on 3.5mm headphone jack. - Volume Level is controlled by the normal volume control keys on your computer. (no need to use the volume control inside iTunes etc.) - No drivers required for Mac, Windows and Linux! - Normal line level output (2Vrms) when connected to amplifiers/preamps. For headphones the level decreases down to 1Vrms for 32ohm headphones Additional features: -Usb to optical converter. Outputs optical signal if you connect a 3.5mm optical cable in place of a 3.5mm audio cable. Can be useful for connecting your computer to another DAC without usb input. New batch uses USB receiver TE7022L: - Accepts 32khz, 44.1khz, 48khz, 96khz and 16/24bit input signals over USB. Most USB DAC's use the cheaper PCM2704 usb receiver chips that can only accept up to 48KHZ/16BIT. Output levels: Open 2.2Vrms 4.7Kohm 2.1Vrms 1.8Kohm 1.9Vrms 510ohm 1.5Vrms 330ohm 1.3Vrms 30ohm 1Vrms Normally amplifier inputs are from 10K to 100K ohm. Normal headphones are from 32 ohm to 250ohm. Review: ... as this should not be able to sound as good as it does very good value ps if you ... - sound is crisp and clear with plenty of volume something as small as this should not be able to sound as good as it does very good value ps if you care about it looking fancy in a nice case buy something else if all you want is QUALITY sound at an affordable price this must be about top of the pops Review: Nice little tweak. - Notable improvement in my modest system.Cheap as chips and well worth the modest sum spent.Nice and tight,improved detail within the mid band with increased stereo focus and sound stage. My macs audio output is pretty good already but in my opinion this little plastic matchbox is well worth a try and if you can't hear an improvement there is no need to cry over crazy audiophile DAC prices and promises you might have otherwise invested in. Going to buy the U2 asynchronous version for my main hifi..as a bit of an experiment..I am so grateful for these economical audiophile tweaks,we all can't afford the expensive hifi in a nice box..after all its all about the music. ## Features - Sabre DAC Technology - Up to 96khz/24bit USB input - Small lightweight simple design, you pay for the sound, not a fancy box - Output on 3.5mm headphone jack - Volume level adjustable with computer hardware keys ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AOH5JTQ | | Best Sellers Rank | 145,556 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 367 in Digital-Analog Converters | | Brand | Hifime | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 149 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00029882889640 | | Interface | USB | | Interface type | USB | | Manufacturer | HifimeDIY | | Material | Plastic | | Mounting Type | Standalone | | Mounting type | Standalone | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Pins | 4 | | Number of channels | 1 | | Number of pins | 4 | | UPC | 029882889640 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HifimeDIY - **Mounting type:** Standalone - **Number of pins:** 4 - **Interface type:** USB - **Number of channels:** 1 ## Images ![HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC UAE23 96/24 ES9023 + USB to Optical Converter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517ycYVFfsL.jpg) ![HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC UAE23 96/24 ES9023 + USB to Optical Converter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NAkqNEniL.jpg) ![HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC UAE23 96/24 ES9023 + USB to Optical Converter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5107tJ38X9L.jpg) ![HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC UAE23 96/24 ES9023 + USB to Optical Converter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oDlZ5D9QL.jpg) ![HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC UAE23 96/24 ES9023 + USB to Optical Converter - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51DqAkr8B3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... as this should not be able to sound as good as it does very good value ps if you ... *by K***R on 27 February 2016* sound is crisp and clear with plenty of volume something as small as this should not be able to sound as good as it does very good value ps if you care about it looking fancy in a nice case buy something else if all you want is QUALITY sound at an affordable price this must be about top of the pops ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little tweak. *by S***2 on 19 February 2015* Notable improvement in my modest system.Cheap as chips and well worth the modest sum spent.Nice and tight,improved detail within the mid band with increased stereo focus and sound stage.
