SteelSeries GameDAC
The SteelSeries GameDAC is an audiophile-grade, dedicated high-fidelity USB DAC (digital to analogue converter) and amplifier. Moreover, it has been designed especially for gamers.
The GameDAC bypasses the generally low fidelity, poor quality DACs found in typical consoles and PCs. Combined with the flagship Arctis Pro headset, the GameDAC was a part of gaming’s first complete high-fidelity audio system. However, now you can use them with any audiophile headphones, or any other gaming headset.
The GameDAC is powered by the legendary ESS Sabre DAC and amplifier with unsurpassed audio quality with 121dB of dynamic range and -115dB Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise. Having bragging rights to being “gaming’s certified first Hi-Res Audio DAC” you can expect the 96 kHz / 24-bit audio being on point. Furthermore, DTS Headphone:X 2.0 support creates pin-point accurate positional cues when gaming.
Finally, to make things even easier, the GameDAC also features an OLED screen. The screen enables easy access to settings and controls without the use of additional software.
