D1 Premium Headphone Amp & DAC
Welcome to the Audioengine family and congratulations on your purchase of the
D1 Premium Headphone Amplifier and Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC).
Audioengine is dedicated to bringing you the highest-quality listening
experience possible and the D1 was designed with the same attention to detail
and operational simplicity as all our products.
We wish to sincerely thank our customers and the entire Audioengine team for
the inspiration to create yet another great product.
Overview
D1 is a powerful yet portable 32-bit headphone amplifier and DAC with performance and features found in more expensive digital interfaces. It doesn’t require much power but is capable of driving even the most demanding headphones. D1 can also be used to bypass your computer’s internal DAC or soundcard and connect directly to powered speakers or any audio system.
