Nuprime Hi mDAC

The Hi-mDAC outperforms everything in its price category and compares favorably to digital-to-analog converters and headphone amplifiers that cost much more. It offers the listener a truly wide-band sound with impressive bass and full-frequency response. The improvement in sound quality is easy to hear.

Many low-cost portable DACs can only decode up to 24-bit/96kHz PCM and do not support DSD decoding. The Hi-mDAC is capable of decoding sample rates from 44.1kHz to 384kHz (PCM) as well as native DSD decoding from DSD 64 to DSD 256, making it the highest performing USB-powered portable DAC on the market today!

Cutting-edge DAC chip and custom USB chip

Hi-mDAC uses a new CS43131 chip from Cirrus Logic. The CS43131 combines a next-generation low-power audio DAC with a high-fidelity headphone amplifier to deliver superior system-level audio performance without draining battery life. To minimize pre-echoes and ringing artifacts, the CS43131 is designed with proprietary digital interpolation filters that support five selectable digital filter responses.
