Violectric CHRONOS is the powerful external DAC with headphone amplifier for all mobile phones and other portable devices with or without headphone connector.
Since it became “fashion“ to offer modern smartphones without a headphone socket, the preferred headphone often had to stay at home. Or it became obvious that the integrated smartphone electronics missed the right power to drive the headphones.
Violectric tackled this problem and created CHRONOS for “Audiophiles On The Road“. This is a top-notch D/A converter combined with a powerful headphone amplifier, protected by a stylish miniature case.
The uncompromising technical data feature 32 Bit and 384 kHz Sample-Rate for PCM signals, DSD is accepted up to DSD 256. The D/A converter in charge offers a typical dynamic range of 130 dB with distortions as low as -115 dB. The power consumption is negligible and reduces the operational time of the connected smartphone only insignificantly.
The amplifier powers low impedance headphones with up to 2 x 30 mW.
The upscaled and technologically advanced item measures only 44,5 x 24 x 10 mm. The rugged case was milled from a solid piece of aluminium and is surrounded by a shiny bevelling. The top and bottom cover are made from glass, the top cover shows the operating modes in different colours.
Be it Apple or Android, be it Windows 10 or iOS, Violectric CHRONOS will always connect trouble-free without any annoying driver installation.
To cover all input options Violectric CHRONOS comes with three adapter cables including Lightning!
