More and more of us are using mobile phones as players to enjoy our favourite music. The problem is that a smartphone is not exactly an "audiophile" element and if we connect headphones to its analogue output, we will have a much less defined and powerful sound compared to if we extract the sound digitally through a DAC that performs this task with a processing specifically designed to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles.
The iFi Uno allows you to connect a mobile phone via its USB-C digital output so that it converts the sound signal from digital to analogue and outputs it via its stereo RCA connection to any amplifier or powered speaker.
The iFi Uno is also a great amplifier for headphones via its front 3.5mm mini-jack socket, a clear power boost and increased resolution, even supporting audiophile music files such as MQA.
