Following the huge success of Mini-Me, Apogee is excited to offer the latest addition
to our Mini Series, Mini-DAC. This professional quality,192kHz D/A converter,
is the ultimate portable and compact solution for studio playback, reference monitoring,
USB connectivity to your DAW, and premium home audio systems.
Professional, Portable, Affordable With the venerable AD-1000 in mind, Apogee set out to make a series of next-generation, compact, high quality converters that both audio professionals and home recording enthusiasts will not want to do without. And although Mini-DAC is built to go and priced to move (it’s far less expensive than any Apogee D/A ever), it delivers a feature rich D/A converter that is unrivaled in the pro studio world.
USB and Beyond with "Digital-Thru-Mode"
These days, if you are doing digital, you need connectivity options. Through
Mini-DAC´s ability to interface directly with your computer and virtually
any DAW via USB, you get maximum flexibility for a myriad of input formats.
And Apogee has taken advantage of this USB capability by expanding it
to offer what we call “digital-thru-mode”. This provides the
exciting option of interfacing non-USB digital devices with your computer.
To use digital-thru-mode, set your Mini-DAC´s input selector to "USB"…
connect any two-channel digital device like Apogee´s Mini•Me, Trak2,
or Rosetta, and you have just USB enabled your favorite A/D converter
and interfaced it with your computer/DAW. No other hardware required.

Precision Reference Monitoring
Are you using a massive mixer just to ride your monitor levels? Or do you have a great A/D but inferior D/A? Then make a little room for Mini-DAC. With comprehensive level control and a high quality headphone output you can hear exactly what you are committing to while recording. And when it is time to mix down, Mini-DAC provides the optimum stereo image and the most faithful analog reproduction of your carefully recorded digital audio that money can buy.
Ultimate Listening for Audiophiles
Want to hear your music as it was intended? Then Mini-DAC is the way to optimize your home audio system. Connect your premium CD/DVD player to Mini-DAC and then out to your speakers for a superb sonic experience that your discerning ears will appreciate.
