Preguntas frecuentes

¿Qué significa Hi-Res Audio Certified?

It means that the GameDAC Gen 2 is able to receive, process, and play Hi-Res formats (sampling rate of 96 kHz, bit depth of 24-Bit), receiving this coveted certification from the Japanese Audio Society.

How does Multi-System Connect work?

The GameDAC Gen 2 has two USB-C ports, which can connect to your PC or console with the provided USB-C to USB-A cables. Navigate the OLED screen menu to switch between active devices.

What are the connection differences between GameDAC Gen 2 and GameDAC Gen 2 for Xbox?

All models come with two direct USB system connections, but if you own an Xbox, only the GameDAC Gen 2 for Xbox will allow you to connect via the dedicated Xbox port (the second USB port is flexible for PC, PlayStation 4/5, Switch, Mac). If you need to connect a PS5 and a PC at the same time, conversely only the PC/PS (GameDAC Gen 2) version will be suitable.
