The ASUS ROG Clavis USB C Gaming DAC ESS 9281 Quad DAC Amplifier is a pocket sized digital to analog converter that packs a host of features for any compatible headset. Its designed with an aluminum body and ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting, giving it a sleek and premium look. Whats more, it comes with a USB C to 3.5 mm jack and a bundled USB 2.0 adapter to ensure compatibility with most headphones and devices.

The ROG Clavis contains QUAD DAC technology that provides lossless audio processing and four dedicated DACs for improved sound clarity. Each of the four DACs is responsible for processing a subset of the audible frequency range from lows to ultra highs, resulting in clearer sound with an impressive 130 dB signal to noise ratio. Additionally, an integrated amplifier supports up to 300 ohms of impedance. With the ROG Clavis, you can be sure to hear every detail for an immersive and true to life audio experience.

With Master Quality Authenticated MQA rendering technology, you can enjoy studio quality sound that reveals every detail of the original recording. The MQA rendering technology can connect to an MQA core signal including those from global streaming service apps such as TIDAL and complete the final unfolding of an MQA music file for incredible audio quality.

Another great feature is AI noise canceling technology which detects sounds and compares them to those received from your headset microphone before processing them to reduce over 500 million types of background noise while preserving vocal harmonics ensuring your voice comes across clearly even in noisy environments. This product also includes ROG exclusive Hyper Grounding technology which uses a multi layer PCB and special layout design to prevent electromagnetic interference, resulting in pure, noise free audio.
