Why Resin? Say Goodbye to Cold Metal & Static Shocks - Most DACs use metal – but metal is cold, conductive, and builds up static. The ICEBORNE features a high-strength modified resin chassis with a hand-finished “ice crack” pattern. It feels warm to the touch in winter, never gives you static shocks, and is lighter than metal for true portability. The non-conductive shell also creates a cleaner electromagnetic environment for lower noise.
Dual CS43198 for Natural, Musical, Non-Fatiguing - Many DACs sound overly bright or clinically dry. The ICEBORNE's dual CS43198 architecture delivers a natural, organic, and engaging sound – with smooth treble, rich mids, and tight, punchy bass. It's the kind of sound that lets you listen for hours without fatigue, whether you're on a plane, at your desk, or relaxing at home.
300mW Balanced Power + 768kHz/DSD256: No Compromises -- The 4.4mm balanced output delivers 300mW @ 16Ω – enough to drive power-hungry planar headphones. The 3.5mm output is perfect for IEMs. And with support for PCM 768kHz and DSD256, you're future-proofed for any high-res source. The lossless USB transport ensures that every bit reaches your ears exactly as intended.
Ultra-Low 1µV Noise Floor: Hear Music, Not the Circuit -- High-sensitivity IEMs (especially multi-BA earphones) reveal every flaw in your DAC. The ICEBORNE achieves an industry-leading 1µV noise floor (3.5mm) / 1.5µV (4.4mm) and 130dB SNR – so even the most sensitive electrostatic earphones deliver a pitch-black background. No hiss, no static, no white noise. Just music.
Universal Compatibility Works with Everything You Own -- Plug it into your PC, Mac, iPhone (with USB Camera Adapter), Android phone – the ICEBORNE is instantly recognized (UAC 1.0 & 2.0 auto-switch). The included 6N OCC silver-plated copper cable ensures maximum conductivity. And with no internal battery to degrade over time, this DAC will last for years.
