With its exceptional weight of 8 grams and its advantageous dimensions, it will be the ideal partner for lovers of high quality music on the move.

The idea is to go through an external decoding circuit with respect to the phone to permanently circumvent problems related to gradual withdrawal of DAC chips. This approach will also be very relevant with previous smartphones with a rudimentary and inadequate DAC circuit to a high-resolution listening.

AKM AK4490


The interface DC02 operates for this purpose a chip DAC AKM AK4490EQ 32bit capable of decoding up to 384kHz audio stream (PCM) and DSD256 natively. It embeds technology Velvet Sound able to reconstruct with surprising clarity audio signals - including low - while offering a natural reproduction through a high bandwidth.

This component is known for its first class audio performance and meets regularly with the devices known High Fidelity.

This ensures excellent signal transmission while absorbing shocks and pressures applied on the most sensitive parts of your smartphone.

Whether it's a computer, a smartphone, tablet or SBC, the DC02 overrides the internal hardware of the machine (if any) to entrust the decoding and amplification to higher quality components than those found regular motherboard / chipset.

This results in a significant gain in the audio clarity (decrease of noise and distortion, improve of linearity in frequency response, better channel separation ... etc).

    Very professional work and an excellent result. They installed a sound system in a Mercedes Viano camper, and the acoustics and sound detail are now on a completely different level! It's almost on par with what I hear at home from quality speakers. The subwoofer is perfectly chosen, just right for my taste. Everything was done extremely carefully, with no extraneous noises or plastic rattling, and the wiring and integration are flawless. True professionals in their field, I recommend them.

    I upgraded the original audio system in my Alfa Romeo SUV. We started with sound insulation and front door speakers with an amplifier. We finished with an additional amplifier with DSP and professional tuning :) The result exceeded all expectations. I've been using it for a year now and don't want to get out of the car :) The work was done super PRO. When questions or options came up along the way, they discussed them with me, consulted and advised. The best investment and modification I've ever made to a car, and I don't regret a single euro. Highly recommend

    I had sound and vibration insulation installed in the doors, wheel arches, trunk, and under the rear seat. The result was really noticeable. BMW g31
