iFi Audio Uno

Uno - the tiny desktop DAC is the new sonic supercharger from iFi Audio. Not sure what a DAC is but know you want better sound quality for your music, movies, games, podcasts and YouTube guilty pleasures? Then, the new iFi Uno is for you.
All devices that act as digital sound sources use a built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) to convert the digital signal in your source device – your computer, Mac, even your car – to music you can hear through speakers or headphones. External DACs sound much better than the standard DACs used inside these devices.
Imagine the difference in quality from a standard TV to an 8K Ultra HD TV — but in sound! This is the difference an external DAC makes to your music. The iFi Uno will supercharge your sound. Everything will sound more powerful, more detailed, and more real.
Bigger. Bolder. Better Sound.

THE ONE YOU WANT
iFi Uno’s small, cute, curvy case is made from tough, mineral-filled polymer. Inside, the sophisticated DAC and headphone amp circuitry will upgrade the basic audio tech in all sorts of digital devices. Connect the iFi Uno via the USB-C input to your Windows PC or Apple Mac. It needs no power source as it receives both power and audio data from the source it is connected to.

WORK. CHILL. PLAY.
One simple device. Three unique modes that generate subtle differences to your listening experience. Music mode unlocks detailed and engaging sound from all your favourite artists. Movie mode enhances dialogue clarity when you’re streaming films and must-watch TV shows. Game mode makes low-level sound effects crystal-clear. Always hear your enemies coming and storms brewing.

UNO, DOS, HI-RES
The iFi Uno supports different file formats – PCM 32bit/384kHz, fully native DSD256 and MQA. PCM - Pulse Code Modulation is the file format used in CD, DVD, Blu-ray and other digital audio applications. DSD - Direct Stream Digital is a very high-quality audio format, better than CD quality. MQA – Master Quality Authenticated is an award-winning audio technology that enables music fans to stream the original master recording into their home or car.

DAC’S THE TICKET
The iFi Uno draws on our ten years of experience and the advanced spec of the DAC chip within it to unlock rarely implemented high-end features. Adjustable analogue gain with DRE (Dynamic Range Enhancement) plus technologies to minimise THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and crosstalk and a choice of digital filters is accessible via the front-panel buttons enabling you to fine-tune the sound of the iFi Uno to your taste.

AWESOME ANALOGUE
The Uno’s analogue circuitry is just as vital to the supercharged sound quality it provides as its digital tech. The headphone amp feeds a 3.5mm socket at the front, incorporating iFi’s S-Balanced configuration to reduce noise and crosstalk. Most DACs still use digital volume control – iFi's is analogue. With analogue volume control, you reduce the volume whilst maintaining the quality.
