AXAGON ADA-HA USB sound card 384 kHz 32 bit, USB-A to 3.5 mm jack

The AXAGON ADA-HA Hi-Res DAC AUDIO ADAPTER is a practical accessory for a laptop or desktop computer with a USB-A connector that provides better sound quality than the built-in audio connector. The adapter functions as an external USB sound card with a DAC supporting Hi-Res Audio with sampling rates up to 384 kHz / 32 bits, ensuring clear and detailed sound.
This adapter is ideal for laptops equipped with a headphone jack with average sound quality or for devices where the sound card is missing or not working. The integrated USB DAC improves sound quality when listening to music, watching movies and online calls.
This external sound card is suitable for playing lossless audio formats such as DSD, FLAC, WMA, WAV, APE, AAC or ALAC. You can also enjoy maximum sound quality when listening to music on streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music or Amazon Music Unlimited. The adapter can also be used to watch streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime or Apple TV+.
It will also work well as a replacement for a malfunctioning original sound card in a laptop and will expand the computer with a headphone output and microphone input. You can easily connect headphones, headsets or active speakers and use it for communication services such as WhatsApp, Messenger, FaceTime, Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet or Discord.
A stereo 3.5 mm 4-pole TRRS jack with automatic detection of CTIA or OMTP standards is used for headphone connection. The strength of the 10 cm long cable is ensured by a durable nylon braid.
Installation is very easy thanks to Plug and Play, so no drivers need to be installed. The adapter also supports Hot Plug so it can be connected on the fly.
