Apogee is a well-known name in the audio industry, often found in professional studios. However, with the Groove, they have taken their audio expertise and created a highly portable DAC suitable for those who want a lightweight option for their desktop or laptop. This DAC is perfect for those who demand top-notch audio quality, as it supports up to 192 kHz (24-bit), making it compatible with everything, including Apple’s new lossless service.
While connecting your iPhone to the Groove may require an external power source and some additional adapters, it is still possible to use it with your phone. However, Android support can be a little inconsistent, and you’ll still need a way to power it during use.
Once you have everything set up, you can plug in your headphones and enjoy the dynamic audio. The Groove’s rubberized base keeps it securely in place on your desk, and the large volume control buttons make it easy to adjust the sound to your liking. The frequency response is flat, ensuring that you get a clear, accurate representation of your audio, making it an excellent choice for those who prioritize sound quality above all else.
