Haven't tried this AudioEngine DAC, but the NUforce Mac-specific DAC I own makes a noticeable difference, mostly in the clarity of the highs. It makes the Mac's built-in DAC sound shrill. On lower-end headphones it might not be detectable. And, of course, everyone's hearing is different. I can listen to Google Play streaming much longer on my Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones through an external DAC than without one. **Q: Will the analog outputs be bypassed if a headphone is connected at the same time?** A: Yes Zack. The analog RCA's are disconnected if headphones are plugged into the D1. I wish it was a bit more flexible but that's the way it is with this unit. **Q: Does this DAC require LPCM or PCM in S/PDIF input signal. Most TV has option to output in PCM format but not all. My LG DU-37LZ30 has DTS/AC-3 output** A: From the FAQ on Audioengine's site:Q: The D1 is connected to the optical output of my TV but I'm not getting any sound. What can I do?A: In your TV menu verify that "PCM STEREO" is selected and "DOLBY DIGITAL" is off.So it presumably only supports PCM over S/PDIF. **Q: I see the d1 has usb input. i don't have a sound card in my pc, do i still need to get one if i get d1 to improve the sound quality? thanks.** A: The D1 functions as a soundcard, so no, you do not need another sound card. Plug the D1 into the USB port on your computer, and an amplifier or headphones into the D1, and enjoy your music! ## Frequently Bought Together - Audioengine D1 32-bit Desktop DAC and Headphone Amp, Preamp, Laptop, Amplifier, Gamers and Musicians - Audioengine S8 Powered Subwoofer Speaker - 250W 8-inch Home Woofer with Built-in Amplifier and Dual Audio Inputs for Home Audio - Audioengine A5+ Powered Bookshelf Speakers - Premium 150W Stereo Speakers for Music, Gaming, Turntables, Home Theater Systems - Powerful Studio Monitors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/1624207-d1-desktop-dac-and-headphone-amplifier-32-bit-usb-dac](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/1624207-d1-desktop-dac-and-headphone-amplifier-32-bit-usb-dac) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
