Axagon ADA-HCPD USB-C Hi-Res DAC audio adapter PD 60W
- Connectivity: USB-C; 1x 3,5mm minijack Headphones; 1x mini usb
The AXAGON ADA-HCPD Hi-Res DAC AUDIO ADAPTER is the ideal accessory for your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer with a USB-C connector, giving you the missing 3.5 mm audio jack. A major advantage is the integrated Power Delivery connector, which allows you to connect a charger and thus makes it possible to power the laptop. The adapter contains a high-quality DAC converter that offers playback sampling rates of up to 384 kHz / 32-bit, ensuring excellent sound quality.
The USB-C female connector is intended only for charging phones or laptops using Power Delivery 3.0 technology with power of up to 60W. Plug a suitable charger into the connector and connect the sound card to your phone. Forget about constantly unplugging your headphones to charge—enjoy uninterrupted music listening, movie watching, or gaming.
This adapter is the optimal choice for mobile phones and tablets that are no longer equipped with a headphone jack and only have a USB-C port. Such devices include products from Samsung, Apple (iPhone 15 and later / iPad), Xiaomi, Honor, and Huawei.
This sound card is optimal for lossless formats such as FLAC, WMA, FLAC, WMA, WAV, APE, AAC or ALAC, etc. Listening to music in the highest possible quality is available through premium accounts on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited. In addition, you can use this audio adapter for uninterrupted viewing of other popular streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, or Apple TV+.
Thanks to the DAC converter, with the ADA-HCPD you can enjoy music in higher quality than when using the standard headphone output of your laptop. It also serves well as a replacement for a non-functioning original sound card in the laptop, replacing the headphone output or microphone input. Another advantage is the ability to connect a microphone or headset for communication services such as WhatsApp, Messenger, FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet, Discord, and the like. You can also use it to connect your mobile device to the AUX input in your car.
A stereo 4-pole TRRS connector with automatic CTIA or OMTP standard detection is used to connect headphones. The cable strength is ensured by a high-quality nylon braid.
