Each new product gives listeners well-thought updates and improvements inspired by all the ways people listen to their music. The new DAC3 is no exception.

Designed smaller for portability with the added power for your hi-res music, DAC3 is the perfect blend of power that audiophiles love to feel and the modern functionality we all depend on.

PORTABLE YET POWERFUL | so you hear ALL of your music

DAC3 is a powerful yet portable headphone amplifier and DAC that delivers enhanced, high resolution audio to your headphones or speakers from your phone, tablet or computer. Though small in size, DAC3 playback performance reveals stunning detail and music clarity headphones often miss when connected directly to your streaming device.

DAC3 uses a high-performance headphone amplifier which drives audiophile-grade headphones with ease and ensures plenty of headroom for your headset. Experience maximum dynamic range with the capacity to support the most demanding headphones.

DAC3 isn't just for headphones. Variable line-level output can be connected to any system with an analog audio input, such as Audioengine powered speakers or an A/V receiver

EASY SETUP, VERSATILE PLAYBACK | no batteries, no charging, no hassle

With only 3 steps to connect and no batteries or charging required, your new DAC is ready to go right out of the box. DAC3 simply draws its meager power requirement via a double regulated USB-C connection.

Audioengine announces A2+ Wireless Powered Desktop Speakers

Versatile and efficient
The A2+ Wireless Speakers were designed for your desktop but their superb soundstage and imaging also makes them the perfect choice to fill a room.  Premium analog power amplifiers are built inside the left speaker, providing a very efficient system and an auto-standby idle mode is also included to conserve power when you're not playing music.

Why Bluetooth?
Audioengine home speakers utilize cutting-edge Bluetooth, aptX, that allows a solid transmission of up to 100 feet (and sometimes more) with no drop-outs and no blips. This range is not reliant upon the ebb and flow of your wi-fi strength at any given point. Bluetooth audio has come a long way in the past few years as well, and the implementation of the aptX codec allows for near lossless audio transmission that rivals the sound of many wired music systems.

New A2+ Wireless

Life is complicated. Listening to your music shouldn’t be.
A2+ is simple to use and designed for the way people listen to music today. Connect any way you like:  Wireless or wired, digital or analog. Play your music library or stream TIDAL, Spotify, Pandora, and YouTube from just about anywhere in your house without dropouts.  A2+ works seamlessly with all your favorite audio players and streaming music services, so no matter how you connect and listen, Audioengine has you covered.

Easy setup
Amplifiers are built inside the left speaker for an efficient mini stereo system that makes setup a breeze. We’ve included connections for your phone, tablet, computer, and turntable - and you can even add a subwoofer. Wireless setup takes about a minute and no apps to download or wi-fi passwords to enter. If you’re using A2+ Wireless at your desk, connect directly to your computer with a USB cable for a high-end listening experience.

a2+ Wireless Speakers

Audiophile-inspired design and construction
A2+ Wireless was designed with the same philosophy as our other products - great sound and simple setup and operation. Unlike most smaller computer speakers, Audioengine 2+ Wireless cabinets are constructed of 18mm-thick high-density fiberboard, rather than plastic. The woofer cones, of high-quality Aramid fiber with custom voice coils and magnets, produce surprisingly low, smooth bass and mid-range.  The tweeters, silk-dome and neodymium fluid-stabilized, provide sweet highs. The amplifier is a class A/B design, for premium sound reproduction.

Pricing and availability
A2+ Wireless has a retail price of $269 per pair and available now from over 400 authorized worldwide resellers or online direct.

About Audioengine
Since 2005 Audioengine has designed innovative, easy-to-use, and affordable audio products for all your music. Classic speaker design with no plastic, full stereo sound, long-range premium Bluetooth and no setup hassles make A2+ Wireless the ultimate mini music system.
