Nuforce uDAC-2SE

Asynchronous USB DAC

Bypassing the computer’s generally inferior soundcard, the Nuforce uDAC-2SE high-performance 24bit/96kHz USB Digital Audio Converter elevates a computer's digital music into high-quality analog sound for headphone listening and stereo systems. In the Asynchronous USB transfer mode, the downstream audio device controls the digital audio data the computer sends through its USB interface. The result is less jitter distortion and better sound. The uDAC-2 SE also features an Up-Sampling capability. With their attractive stainless steel panels, the uDAC-2SE and uDAC-2SGE stand as two of the most compact high-performance USB DACs on the market today.

Asynchronous USB Audio

The uDAC-2SE (Special Edition) and uDAC-2SGE (Signature Gold Edition) are designed for Asynchronous USB Audio mode. The audible difference between synchronous and asynchronous USB audio is best left for the very discerning audio enthusiast and audiophile to decide. But at this price, one can afford to hear the advantages of the uDAC-2SE with asynchronus USB for themselves!
