There are more ways than one to upgrade your at-home sound experience and iFi always comes up as one of the brands to look out for. Now, with their latest entry-level DAC/Amp combo, the Uno, more people will be able to hear great sound on a budget. The Uno is primarily a desktop DAC, and it is their smallest one yet. With this design, the iFi hopes the Uno to be many people’s first DAC.
The Uno’s cute, curvy case is made from tough, mineral-filled polymer and contains sophisticated DAC and headphone amp circuitry to upgrade the basic audio tech in all sorts of digital devices. Its USB-C input connects to Windows PCs, Apple Macs, and all manner of smartphones and tablets. It doesn’t require its own power source, receiving both power and audio data from the device to which it’s connected. And it delivers a perfectly processed, optimally amplified analog audio signal to headphones, powered speakers, or an amp and separate speakers.
