Apple Music recently made headlines with its announcement of Lossless and Hi-Res Lossless audio streaming for its subscribers, promising to deliver a listening experience that’s more immersive than ever before. However, to take full advantage of this technology, you’ll need a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that can decode the high-quality audio files and deliver them to your headphones or speakers with maximum fidelity. In this blog, we’ll be taking a look at the top three DACs currently on the market that are specifically designed to enhance your listening experience of Apple Music Lossless. Whether you’re a serious audiophile or just someone who wants to enjoy music at its best, we’ve got you covered.
Number 1. AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt
Except for the Ugreen dongle, the Dragonfly is hands down the most compact and portable device in our top three list of digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Despite not having a built-in battery, it still manages to work seamlessly with your phone, laptop or PC without requiring a dedicated power supply. Although, you may need a phone adapter such as USB-A to Lightning or USB-A to USB-C for Android users. With no volume controls, the device features a single 3.5mm headphone jack and a color-changing LED, which lets you know the track’s sample rate.
