The SteelSeries GameDAC is an award-winning, high-resolution external USB sound upgrade for gaming headsets and headphones.

This enables exceptionally clear, precise and detailed sound reproduction for an incredibly real gaming experience. In contrast to conventional onboardDACs and gaming headphone amps, the GameDAC offers an aptXHD codec that enables 24-bit/48kHz audio transmission to ensure an optimal sound image. aptX HD is compatible with Mac, PC, PS4 and Android. The SteelSeries GameDAC is the first audiophile gaming device to receive the Japan Audio Society (JAS) HiResAudioLogo (HRA), making it the ultimate gaming audio upgrade.
