The new Fostex HP-A3 is the perfect DAC for Computer Audio. This high quality unit features 32bit D/A Conversion with an integrated headphone amplifier exclusively designed to get the most from and PC audio set-up.

Why settle for 'built-in' D/A conversion when you can drastically improve the quality of your audio with a Fostex HP-A3?

• USB Bus power without using unwanted AC adapter
• Works with up to 24bit/96kHz audio source
• Exclusive PLL power supply is built in to reproduce the stable electrical supply
• High quality analog headphone amp to drive any type of headphones
• Equipped with hgih-grade AKM 32bit(*) DAC AK4390
• Condensers and OP amp designed exclusively for audio products
