Sony PHA-3

Description

This USB digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and headphone amplifier takes over from your PC or mobile device’s built-in amp. Original digital audio – including High-Resolution Audio – is processed by the PHA-3, creating a dramatically superior soundstage for enhanced listening.

Listen in the best possible sound quality through a variety of devices—PC, iPhone/iPad, and Xperia™ smartphone — with up to 384 kHz / 32-bit PCM encoding.

Hear the authentic, intimate detail of analog sound from your digital audio with Double DSD (5.6 MHz) and DSD (2.8 MHz) high-quality digital audio coding. Feel sound beyond natural hearing with exceptionally high frequencies up to 100 kHz.

Most portable devices include a simplified DAC converter, resulting in slightly compromised sound quality. This dedicated USB DAC amplifier takes over processing from your device, then amplifies sound for headphone listening using a custom-tuned, precision analog amplifier.

With this separate USB DAC amp linking your headphones and a compatible PC, smartphone or Walkman®, you’ll enjoy higher quality High-Resolution Audio sound.1 The amp supports the very latest 384 kHz / 32-bit PCM and 5.6 MHz Double DSD formats.
