"I am listening to my DACport with my SENNHEISER HD800. I'm very happy with its sound!" - Masashi K., Japan

 
     
 

"I was impressed by the sea of details that DACport delivers. Not only the DAC resolution is good but the DACport is very quiet amp and the background is pure black… localization is also nice, music instruments are clearly separated and placed at the right position." - Sasaki Y., Japan

 
     
 

I spent whole evening listening to DACport sound and I must say that DACport really is amazingly revealing! I'm very satisfied and impressed! - Arturs J., Latvia

 
     
       
 
       
 

24-bit/96kHz USB Headphone DAC

 
       
 
 
 

"Without a doubt, DACport is more resolving, dynamic, and extended on both frequency extremes." - Head-Fi.org

 
 

"My wife tried my first DACport using Sennheiser HD600 headphones, and liked it a lot. So I'm buying her one also. The sound is very clean (high SNR, low distortion) - pretty impressive for a portable USB DAC/amp." - Head-Fi.org

 
 

"I received my DACport today, and listening to it as I’m typing this, with a smile on my face. Clarity is amazing; I can hear very small details... also really like the design. The cylinder-shaped case makes it easy to carry and store. The brushed-aluminum looks very nice." - early customer, USA

 
 
Press Reviews
 

EQ Magazine

"My Mac connects to studio monitors, and the difference using DACport compared to the internal audio is a revelation. If you have the bucks, this is the ticket to audiophile computer playback."

Sound On Sound Magazine

"A very handy playback system for anyone who needs to travel light without compromising audio quality — and it could also be a perfect replacement for an audio interface for the musician who prefers to work totally ‘in the box’."

Playback

"DACport manages to sound like a much more expensive product than it actually is. DACport's class A amp offers sonic refinement that is a gift that keeps on giving, delivering a precise, suave and sophisticated sound that will appeal to many listeners."

Sonic Scoop

"I was literally floored when I put on my Sony MDR-7509's and listened to a track. Detail, depth, space... There were all the details I loved in the music, down to instrument string noise and vocal rasp at the end of some of the words and the tails on the reverbs that lasted until they decayed... For music listening alone, this is a huge leap up... I would say unreservedly, buy this and match it with your best headphones and retire to a dark room to listen in bliss... If you mix or master on headphones exclusively, I give it another "must-have" rating."

AVHub Australia

"DACport is a moveable feast... Assuming an excellent set of headphones is on hand to make the most of its skills, the DACport provides a thrillingly audiophile all-in-one file-to-phones solution with the astounding additional gift of easy use on the move."

 
 

 

 

- MYM

 
 

Hi-Fi World UK

"I was instantly struck by the amount of level available… real enthusiasm and a surprising amount of detail. CEntrance DACport can be considered a fine package, especially when it's build quality, ease of setup and use is considered… an interesting concept that is very well executed."

Audiophile Audition

"DACport sounded far better than any of the portable headphone amps."

 
 

 

 

- John Sunier

 
 

Head-fi.org

"The DACport (as a DAC/amp) beats ALL the portable DAC/amps that I have had come through here for review, but some by a larger margin than others.... The DACport bass and treble extension are very good, while the mids are full and rich without becoming forward. Overall I find it to sound very balanced and refined. I liked it right out of the box and only felt it open up slightly and smooth out a little with a few hours."

 

 

 

 

- Larry Ganz

 
 

LA Audiofile

"The resolution and detail offered with the DACport was nothing short of amazing with good source material. The DACport had the ability to reproduce intricate instrument characteristics not found with mainstream D/A converters.... We can easily recommend the DACport to customers wanting the best performance from a portable DAC."

“CEntrance certainly did their homework and the DACport is exactly what the company says. Comparison was made with a [DAC] that costs many times more (and weighs much more) and I think it says a lot for the little “cigar” shape!”

 

 

 

 

- HT Staff

 
 

Audio Ideas Guide

“DACport  is something of a no-brainer. It’s easy to use, sounds like it should be far, far more expensive, can drive difficult headphones with relative ease, is portable enough to use almost anywhere. DACport can form the backbone of a fantastic sounding, budget-friendly system. If you’re an audiophile with a computer, you want one.”

Everything Audio Network Stellar Sound Award

"The DAC and the headphone amp are quite good - even compared to more expensive separates. No AC plugs, no batteries. Just plug it in to the computer, and sit back and listen. I never take my Apple laptop anywhere without it. A Stellar Sound Award for the DACport."
