Astell & Kern's latest mobile DAC brings 32-bit audio with fewer sacrifices
its third USB DAC, the AK HC3, and this one may finally nail enough features to satisfy most users. It promises very high-quality 32-bit, 384kHz audio like its HC2 predecessor, but you can finally use your headset's microphone. You won't have to choose between pristine sound and making phone calls.
The AK HC3 also uses ESS' newer ES9219MQ dual DAC. A built-in LED even shows if you're using a high-res audio format. The USB-C connection supports Macs, Windows PCs, Android phones and many tablets , but there's an included Lightning adapter in the box for your iPhone. Android users get a dedicated app to fine-tune the output.
Astell & Kern will sell the AK HC3 for $229, with pre-orders starting January 20th and a release estimated for February 13th. This isn't the absolute highest-quality DAC , but it's better than many mobile options and is relatively easy to carry.You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
