Combining hi-resolution digital playback with portable convenience, this is the latest addition to the M-DAC family and is the smallest yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMobile wireless DAC and headphone amp:\u003cbr\u003e\nThe M-DAC nano is a multi-function portable headphone amplifier and DAC combination. Designed to enhance your portable music playback experience, the M-DAC nano transforms your digital music signal to a level of high-fidelity, wirelessly and on-the-go. Universally suited to in-ear or over-ear headphones of various impedance levels, the M-DAC nano, the M-DAC uses sophisticated digital filtering with upscaling to give an impressive sonic boost to whatever you’re listening to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nEver  since  the  original  M-DAC  rocketed  Audiolab  to  the  front  of  the  DAC  pack  in  2011,  the  Cambridgeshire-based  company  has  been  renowned for  its  ability  to  give  a  huge  sonic  boost  to  all  manner  of  digital  devices–smartphones,  tablets,  PCs,  Macs  and  more. The  latest  addition  to  the M-DAC  range continues  this  tradition,  but  does  so  in  the  smallest,  most  affordable  and  most  conveniently  mobile  form  yet. Enter,  the  M-DAC  Nano.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSimilar  in  size  to  a  small  matchbox,  the  M-DAC  Nano  is  a  brilliantly  simple  way  to  transform headphone  sound  quality  when  you’re  on  the  go.  It  connects  wirelessly  to  Androidphones,  iPhones,  tablets  and  more  via  Bluetooth,  untethering  the  listener’s  headphones  from  the  playback  device–much  more  convenient  for  mobile  use  than  DAC\/headphone  amps  that  require  cables  to  connect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAnd  that’s  not  the  only  thing  that’s  wireless.  The  M-DAC  Nano’s  built-in  battery  supports  Qi  wireless  charging  –simply  pop  it  on  the  supplied  charging  pad  to  deliver up  to  eight  hours of  playing  time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOf  course,  all  this  convenience  would  mean  nothing  if  the  M-DAC  Nano’s  sound  quality  was  subpar – but  Audiolab has  squeezed  in plenty  of  tech  to  ensure  it  sounds  great!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFor  such  a  small  device,  the  M-DAC  Nano’s  circuitry  packs  a  mighty  punch.  Hi-res  32-bit\/384kHz-capable DAC  technology  lies  at  its  heart,  with  upsampling  of  data  received  over Bluetooth  to  enhance sound  quality.  The  integrated  Bluetooth  v4.2  receiver supports  the  sonically  superior  aptX  and  AAC  codecs,  in  addition  to  Bluetooth’s  standard  SBC  format. All  this  advanced  digital  processing  is  coupled  to powerful  Class  H  analogue  amplification,  with  auto-sensing  to  adapt  the  output  to  suit  the  load. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\nA  choice  of  ‘standard’  and  ‘enhanced’  audio  modes  is  available – the  former  offers extended  battery  life  while  the  latter  optimises  sound  quality.  A  press  of  the  ‘function’  button  (labelled  ‘f’) engages enhanced  mode,  using  sophisticated digital  filtering  with  upscaling  to  give  an  impressive  sonic  boost  to  whatever  you’re listening  to – it  might be  music  stored  on  your  device  or  streamed  from the  likes  of  Spotify,  Apple  Music or  Tidal;  it  could be  a  podcast  or  internet  radio;or you  might be  watching  a  movie  or  playing  a  game.  All  forms  of  digital  audio  benefit  from  elevated  definition,  delivering a  more  dynamic  and  engaging  performance  through  your  preferred  headphones  or  earphones. Bluetooth has  rarely  sounded  so  good!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nVolume  is  adjusted  using a  side-mounted,  64-step  rotary  control;  this  also  has  a  ‘press’ function,  which  can  be  used  to  pause content  and  skip forward  or  back.  A  built-in  MEMS  microphone  enables hands-free  calls  when paired  with  a  smartphone  and  may  also  be  used  to  engage  Siri  or  Google  Assistant  on  iOS  or Android  devices  respectively. Other  useful  features  include  auto-pause  when  headphones  are  disconnected  and  auto-power-off to  conserve  battery charge  after  10  minutes  of  inactivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMeasuring  44x44x14mm  and  weighing  just  28g,  the  M-DAC  Nano  is  easy  to  slip  into  a  pocket,  while  the  playback  device  it’s paired  with may  be  stashed  up  to  10m  away.  It  also  comes  with  a  protective  faux  leather  pouch,  with a  clip  to  attach  to  a  shirt,  belt  or  bag,  whilst  keeping  the  controls  accessible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nSpecifications:- \u003cbr\u003e\n\nWireless Connectivity: Bluetooth V4.2 \u003cbr\u003e\nOutput Power: 30mW per channel @320 (1 Vrms output) 7.SmW per channel @3000 (1 .SVrms output) \u003cbr\u003e\nAudio Codec: aptX \/ aptX LL \/ AAC \/ SBC \u003cbr\u003e\nMatching Impedance: 80 to 3000 \u003cbr\u003e\nDimension: 44 x 44 x 14mm \u003cbr\u003e\nWeight 28g \n","brand":"Audiolab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57414654755148,"sku":"AUDIOLABMDACNANO","price":124.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/audiolab-M-DAC-nano.jpg?v=1777550370","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/products\/audiolab-m-dac-nano-portable-bluetooth-dac-headphone-amp","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
