Make your music Sound Amazing

Apogee ONE is a portable studio quality headphone amp and DAC for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Mac. Connect ONE to your Apple device, connect your headphones or powered speakers to ONE and experience a whole new world of detail, dimension and clarity in your music.

What is a DAC and why is it important?

If you’re a music lover and you want the best listening experience you should know that the key ingredient in the quality of your sound is the digital-to-analog converter or DAC. A DAC takes the digital information on your computer or mobile devices and translates it into analog sound you can hear through your headphones and speakers.

Not all DACs are created equal

It’s similar to language translation, would you trust Google to translate an entire story from one language to another? Probably not. Without professional translation (a language specialist) much of the subtlety, detail and meaning could be lost or misinterpreted. It’s similar when translating digital information into analog sound. Your computer or mobile device can do it but not as effectively as a dedicated DAC.
