AMPS AND DACS AT AX

More headroom, less noise.

FiiO, iFi and JDS Labs headphone amps and DACs, plus Cloudlifter preamps for dynamic microphones, so high-impedance headphones and quiet mics finally get the gain they need.

A DAC replaces noisy onboard audio with a clean source; an amp gives 250-ohm headphones the voltage they need; a Cloudlifter lifts quiet dynamic mics before the interface. Check impedance and connectors before pairing.

AMPS, DACS AND PREAMPS FAQ

Before you buy.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most about DACs, headphone amps and mic preamps.

What is the difference between a DAC and a headphone amp?

A DAC converts digital audio from your PC or phone into an analog signal, while an amp boosts that signal to drive your headphones. Combo units like the FiiO K11 R2R and iFi Audio ZEN DAC 3 do both in one box, while a stack such as the JDS LABS ATOM DAC 2 and ATOM AMP 2 splits the jobs.

Do I need an amp for my headphones?

High-impedance or low-sensitivity headphones, such as 250-ohm studio models, often sound quiet or thin from a laptop or motherboard output and benefit from an amp. Most efficient gaming headsets and earphones run fine without one, though a clean DAC can still reduce hiss and interference.

What does a mic activator like the Cloudlifter CL-1 do?

Low-output dynamic mics, such as many broadcast microphones, need a lot of gain. The Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 adds up to 25dB of clean gain before your interface, so its preamps can run lower with less hiss. It needs 48V phantom power from your interface or mixer to work.

Can I use a DAC and amp for gaming as well as music?

Yes, any DAC and amp works for both. Gaming-focused units like the Sound BlasterX G6 add virtual 7.1 surround and a mic input for headset users, while desktop units like the FiiO K11 R2R or iFi Audio ZEN DAC 3 focus on clean stereo playback for headphones.
