The nano iDSD Black Label is an MQA compatible DAC and headphone amp that can be both portable or home-based. With 6 times more power than an iPhone, it can drive any set of headphones (up to 600 Ohms) with aplomb, and, with a battery life of over 10 hours, you can take it with you wherever you go.It will work with an amp or active speakers via the 3.5mm line out. The new Black Label is one of the most high resolution DACs on the market plus we've added MQA rendering to give you even more file choices. Just connect your smartphone (OTG cable not included) and experience a level of Spotify, Tidal or Apple Music like never before.
