AXAGON ADA-HC, Hi-Res DAC audio adapter, 384kHz/32bit stereo, USB-C to 3.5mm jack

A partner for devices without an audio port

This adapter is the ideal choice for mobile phones and tablets that no longer have a headphone jack and only feature a USB-C port. Such devices include products from Samsung, Apple (iPhone 15 and newer / iPad), Xiaomi, Honor and Huawei.

Listen up

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

Hi-Res DAC

With the DAC converter, the ADA-HC lets you enjoy music in higher quality than with your laptop's standard headphone output. It also serves as a great replacement for a broken original sound card in your laptop, substituting the headphone output or microphone input. Another advantage is the ability to connect a microphone or headset for communication services like WhatsApp, Messenger, FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet, Discord, and similar apps. You can also use it to connect your mobile device to the AUX output in your car.

TRRS connector

A stereo 4-pole TRRS connector with automatic detection of the CTIA or OMTP standard is used for connecting headphones. The durability of the 10cm long cable is ensured by a quality nylon braid.
