The Violectric CHRONOS is the powerful external DAC with headphone amplifier for all mobile phones and other portable devices with or without headphone jack. Given that modern smartphones without a headphone jack have become a "trend," headphones had to stay at home. It became apparent that the built-in electronics of smartphones did not have the proper power to drive the headphones. Violectric addressed this problem and created the CHRONOS for "Audiophiles On The Road." This is a top-notch D/A converter combined with a powerful headphone amplifier, protected by an elegant microscopical case. The technical specifications feature a 32-bit and 384 kHz sampling rate for PCM signals, and DSD is accepted up to 256 DSD. The responsible D/A converter offers a typical dynamic range of 130 dB with distortions up to -115 dB. Power consumption is negligible and minimally reduces the operating time of the connected smartphone. The amplifier powers low-impedance headphones up to 2 x 30 mW. The upgraded and technologically advanced CHRONOS has dimensions of only 44.5 x 24 x 10 mm. Whether it's Apple or Android, Windows 10 or iOS, the Violectric CHRONOS will always connect without problems and without any annoying driver installation. To cover all input options, the Violectric CHRONOS comes with three adapter cables, including the Lightning!
