ADAPTER USB-C TO AUDIO 3.5MM/DAC 0.1M ADA-HA AXAGON

The AXAGON ADA-HA Hi-Res DAC AUDIO ADAPTER is a practical accessory for a laptop or desktop computer with a USB-A connector, which provides better sound than the built-in audio connector. The adapter works as an external USB sound card with a DAC converter supporting Hi-Res Audio with sampling up to 384 kHz / 32 bits, which ensures clean and detailed sound.

This adapter is an ideal solution for laptops equipped with a headphone connector with average sound quality or for devices where the sound card is missing or not working. The integrated USB DAC converter improves sound quality when listening to music, watching movies and during online calls.

This external sound card is suitable for playback of lossless audio formats such as DSD, FLAC, WMA, WAV, APE, AAC or ALAC. You can also use maximum sound quality when listening to music on streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music or Amazon Music Unlimited. The adapter can also be used when watching streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime or Apple TV+.

It will also serve well as a replacement for a non-functional original sound card in a laptop and will expand the computer with a headphone output and a microphone input. It is thus easy to connect headphones, a headset or active speakers and use it also for communication services such as WhatsApp, Messenger, FaceTime, Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet or Discord.

For connecting headphones, a stereo 3.5 mm 4-pole TRRS jack connector with automatic detection of CTIA or OMTP standards is used. The durability of the 10 cm long cable is ensured by a resistant nylon braiding.

Installation is very easy thanks to Plug and Play, so no drivers need to be installed. The adapter also supports Hot Plug, so it can be connected during operation.
