Audio Performance   Set up could not be easier. When you plug your DACport into a USB port on your computer, it takes over as the main sound card and is ready right away. Nothing to install, just plug 'n play!                 CEntrance's AdaptiWave High Resolution USB audio technology offers true 24-bit / 96kHz audio quality. This eliminates any resampling artifacts in the OS. This is how your music is meant to be heard!                 Windows may downgrade 24-bit audio files to play on 16-bit soundcards, adding noise. Because DACport is a 24-bit device Windows sends it audio with no changes, bit-for-bit, at all supported sample rates.                 The art of digital-to-audio conversion is in the quality of the clock. DACport's JitterGuard clock management system uses a military spec clock oscillator with 10ppm precision.                 Capacitors introduce distortion. DACport's Class A headphone amp is direct-coupled (capacitor-free), maintaining audiophile quality all the way to the headphones.                 DACport's advanced, low-distortion Class A headphone amplifier runs on super-clean 18V rails (lus/minus 9V, bipolar supply). Higher voltage means more headroom and more output power to drive any headphones.     Global Responsibility     CEntrance products are sold all over the world and we go to great lengths to ensure compliance with international regulations. DACport is RoHS, FCC and CE-compliant, which ensures safety and protects our environment.                 DACport is designed and assembled by CEntrance in USA. When you purchase a DACport you are bringing manufacturing jobs back to America. Thank you for your support!
