The following companies manufacture iPod docks and Digital-to-Audio Converters (DACs). You can obtain more information on any of the models by clicking on that manufacturer's link on our Brands & Links page.

A USB digital-to-audio converter (also known as a D/A converter or DAC) is the best-sounding way to access high definition audio files stored on a MAC or PC computer. USB DACs connect to your computer with a USB cable or wirelessly using a USB dongle and send their analog audio outputs directly to your stereo or home theater system while bypassing the cheap, poor quality sound card built into most computers. Special and unique technologies in high-end USB DACs retrieve your audio with extremely low jitter and much higher fidelity than other USB devices available on the market.)
