The AXAGON ADA-HCPD Hi-Res DAC AUDIO ADAPTER is the ideal accessory for your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop with a USB-C connector, providing the missing 3.5 mm audio connector. A big advantage is the integrated Power Delivery connector, which allows you to connect the charger and thus supply the phone with power. The adapter includes a high-quality DAC converter that offers up to 384 kHz / 32-bit sampling during playback, which ensures excellent sound quality.

The second USB-C port is used for powering and simultaneously charging laptops using Power Delivery 3.0 technology with a power of up to 60W. Connect a suitable charger to the connector and connect the sound card to your phone. Forget about constantly pulling out the headphones to charge, enjoy uninterrupted entertainment while listening to music, watching movies or playing games.

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.

This sound card is optimal for lossless formats such as FLAC, WMA, WAV, APE, AAC or ALAC, 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+.

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-functioning 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 cable is ensured by a high-quality nylon braid.
