AUDIOCULAR - Note-S KT0231H + MAX97220 Type-C to 3.5mm Portable DAC & Amp

Upgrade your everyday wired listening with the AUDIOCULAR Note-S, a compact Type-C to 3.5mm portable DAC and headphone amplifier powered by the KT0231H USB audio codec and dedicated MAX97220 Class-G headphone amplifier. The KT0231H supports high-resolution PCM audio playback up to 384kHz/32-bit, while its differential DAC output works directly with the fully differential input of the MAX97220 for an efficient and refined audio signal path.

The dedicated MAX97220 amplifier provides significantly more headphone-driving capability than relying on the USB codec alone, delivering up to 125mW per channel into 32Ω with a 5V supply. With an amplifier SNR of 112.5dB, THD+N as low as 0.0021%, capacitor-less output architecture and click-pop suppression, Note-S is designed to provide clean and controlled wired audio from a highly compact form factor.

The KT0231H also integrates 6-band EQ, noise suppression, UAC 1.0/UAC 2.0 support and microphone ADC functionality, adding versatile DSP and USB audio capabilities for compatible devices. Note-S further supports My Audiocular, allowing users to access 6-band EQ, multi-band PEQ Editor, Auto PEQ, Adaptive Sound Test, AI-powered sound recommendations, Device Dashboard and custom presets through the supported web app and Android app for greater sound personalization and control.

Compatible with supported smartphones, tablets, laptops and computers, Note-S makes it easy to connect your favourite 3.5mm IEMs, earphones or compatible headphones and enjoy high-resolution wired audio, powerful amplification and advanced sound customization wherever you listen.

AUDIOCULAR Note-S delivers higher power and hi-res audio with its KT0231H DAC and dedicated MAX97220 amplifier, while CrinEar Protocol Micro offers a simpler solution for everyday wired listening.
