The AXAGON ADA-HC Hi-Res DAC AUDIO ADAPTER is the ideal accessory for your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer with a USB-C connector, providing the missing 3.5 mm audio connector. The adapter includes a high-quality DAC converter that offers up to 384 kHz / 32-bit sampling during playback, which ensures excellent sound quality.

This sound card is optimal for lossless formats such as FLAC, WMA, WAV, APE, AAC or ALAC in Apple Music, etc. You can listen to music in the best possible quality through premium accounts on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Amazon Music Unlimited. You can also use this audio adapter to enjoy uninterrupted viewing of other popular streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime or Apple TV+.

This adapter is the optimal choice for mobile phones and tablets that no longer have a headphone jack and only have a USB-C port. Examples of such devices are products from Samsung, Apple (iPhone 15 and newer / iPad), Xiaomi, Honor and Huawei. Thanks to the DAC converter, you can enjoy music with the ADA-HC in better quality than using the laptop's standard headphone output. It also serves well as a replacement for the non-working original sound card in the laptop, thus replacing the headphone output or the microphone input. It is also an advantage that a microphone or headphones can be connected to WhatsApp, Messenger, FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet, Discord and similar communication services. You can also use it to connect your mobile device to your car's AUX output.

A 4-pole stereo TRRS connector is used to connect the headphones, which has automatic CTIA or OMTP standard recognition. The strength of the 10 cm long cable is ensured by high-quality nylon braid.
