The subtle brilliance of the Swarovski crystal gracing the uDAC-2 SGE's volume control, along with the unit's lustrous gold-plated case, allude in handsome fashion to its no less attractive performance capabilities. For the eye as well as the ear, the uDAC-2 SGE cannot but enhance the most elegant desktop array.
With its extensive power supply, filtering capabilities and charge-pump circuit as a foundation, the uDAC-2 SGE processes incoming data via a USB audio receiver. A D/A converter chip then translates the data to a 2V analog signal. uDAC-2 SGE's performance equals or exceeds that of many audiophile CD players. Its exemplary flexibility -- analog RCA, digital coaxial, and high-performance headphone outputs -- is bound to satisfy the needs of the most critical music lover.
The following accessories are included: 1) NuForce Impulse USB cable, soft leather case, carrying pouch and elegant quick start guide. | | | Features: | |

Just an amazing difference!Apr 07, 2012
By David C. Baker
"reader, author, speaker, and publisher"
I have a 17" MacBook Pro. All Macs (for years) have had digital audio, but it has to be translated to analog audio to push sound through speakers, headphones, earphones, etc. And the DAC (digital to analog converter) that Apple uses isn't all that good. Plug this device into a USB port, though, and it intercepts the digital signal and translates it to analog in the most amazing way. Without giving them any details in advance, I've had many people listen to the output from headphones through this device, and they are shocked at how much more they hear.
I'm generally impressed with everything NuForce produces. Good prices, quality components, very useable.
I would definitely recommend this if you are an audiophile or just love great sounding music, in your office or on the road. I mainly use it on the road.
