NuForce, Inc., a global leader in consumer audio products, introduces the µDAC-3, a high-resolution USB Digital Audio Converter (DAC) that connects your personal computer’s audio with your home stereo, desktop sound system, or headphones.
As the 3rd generation of the best-selling NuForce uDAC series, the uDAC-3 provides DSD support (see Website for supported player and OS), Driverless Asynchronous Mode, and improved circuit design for a more detailed, transparent and wider soundstage.

And far from least, the uDAC-3’s price remains an affordable $125. In markets where it is still available, the uDAC-2 is now priced at $99.
