Product details

The upgrade your headset has been waiting for. Built for gaming, the GameDAC transforms any PS4 or PC into a high-performance audio system by bypassing the low fidelity, poor quality DACs found in typical console controllers, USB headsets, and PC sound cards.

Top of the line digital to analog performance. The heart of the Arctis Pro + GameDAC is the legendary ESS Sabre 9018 Reference DAC, revered for its unsurpassed audio quality with 121 dB of dynamic range and -115 dB THD+N. This makes bass sound tighter, individual sound effects more distinct, and positional cues pin-point accurate.

Hi-res audio certified. GameDAC is the first gaming DAC to receive the coveted Hi-Res Audio certification. Experience the breathtaking quality of lossless WAV, FLAC, and DSD files, stream from Hi-Res sources, and be future-ready for hi-res gaming audio with the GameDAC’s native 96 kHz, 24-bit support.

Universal compatibility. Whether you have an Arctis headset, a separate pair of high-end headphones, or any other gaming headset, GameDAC elevates your gaming experience with powerful high-fidelity audio via the universal 3.5mm jack.

DTS Headphone:X v2.0. The next generation of DTS’ renowned surround sound, Headphone:X v2.0 immerses you in the action by delivering incredibly accurate positional cues without sounding like you’re in a tunnel. Lose yourself in the game as the audio comes to life all around you.
