At CES last week, CEntrance, Inc., manufacturer of the 24-bit/96 kHz USB preamps, MicPort Pro and AxePort Pro, introduced the audiophile-quality DACport USB Headphone Amplifier, featuring a reference-quality audio signal path.

Compatible with both Windows and Mac, DACport — a stereo 24-bit / 96kHz digital-to-analog converter with CEntrance-designed AdaptiWave USB technology and JitterGuardclock management system — is available directly from CEntrance for $500.

DACport’s 1/4″ output offers the highest quality headphone connection, while the unit also comes with an adaptor for 1/4″ to mini 1/8″ stereo for other headphone connections.

Audiophiles and audio professionals can now listen to high-resolution files anywhere on their laptops, traveling musicians and audio engineers can now carry a mixing/mastering suite inside a laptop bag. Coupled with professional headphones, DACport offers a mastering studio-quality monitoring system in a cigar-shaped, portable chassis.

DACport is compatible with any Windows, Mac or Linux computer and draws power straight from the USB jack. The DACport connects to the computer without special software drivers — offering driverless USB performance up to 24-bit / 96kHz, plug ‘n play operation, analog volume knob, and Class A headphone amp.
