Compact External USB DAC for PC / MAC
The Sound Blaster E5 is the result of Sound Blaster's relentless audio
innovation since the PC era, backed by decades of legendary audio
engineering expertise. With a proven track record of providing
high-fidelity PC audio for discerning ears, the E5 now brings a
high-resolution audio experience for your use with laptops, smart phones
and tablets.
Designed For The Audiophile In You
The Sound Blaster E5 is designed from the ground up, to reproduce
high-fidelity audio with minimum distortion and noise. It is built on
the flagship Cirrus Logic CS4398 Digital-Analogue Converter (DAC), with
an impressively high 120dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that supports
sample rates of up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution.
High-Resolution Audio Playback
Sound Blaster E5 is able to decode audio files ranging from MP3s and CDs
(16-bit/44kHz) to high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz files, be it from your
PC / Mac or other smart devices.
Powers High-impedance Headphones, With A Dual Gain Switch.
A best-in-class Texas Instrument TI6120A2 headphone amplifier enables
you to power any of the headphones available in the market, giving you
clarity, details and a total harmonic distortion value plus noise
(THD+N) of <0.005%.
The headphone amplifier utilises a current-on-demand design in the
headphone output, which enables the amplifier to respond quickly without
the risk of output distortion. When a large amount of power is suddenly
needed, the amplifier can respond extremely quickly without raising the
noise floor and thus degrades the signal-to-noise ratio.
Have a variety of normal and power-demanding headphones in your
collection? The dual gain switch also allows you to match your
headphones to the correct impedance from the Sound Blaster E5. This
gives you flexibility in listening to music at the most optimal playback
volume.
