This is a FANTASTIC 2 channel amp, and the DAC does a wonderful job. I have one on permanent duty at my desk and use it for several hours every day. I alternate between using the USB connected to my PC and a lightning cable for iPhone plugged into the front. Both sound amazing!
This item for sale is the extra unit that I never opened.

Hear the detail in High-Resolution Audio
Easily connect the UDA-1 to your PC and listen to your music collection in high quality sound. The UDA-1 is a digital to analogue converter (DAC), with built-in amplifier and multiple connections for headphones or speakers. Play music direct from your PC with sound that’s closer to the original master.
Create a hub for your digital music
The UDA-1 is the ideal way to set up a sound system around your PC. Its compact design fits discreetly in small spaces, while the twin USB ports let you easily connect your PC, laptop or smartphone (Android or iPhone). Or plug in your audio separates with optical digital audio (S/PDIF), coaxial digital and line in inputs.
Detailed sound across the whole frequency range
Hear every subtle detail with a 10-100Hz frequency range, taking you closer to the nuances of a live performance.
Play all your music in high quality
Get the best from a wide variety of file types, including High-Resolution Audio formats such as FLAC, WAV, ALAC and DSD (Direct Stream Digital) which reproduces songs with all the nuances of the original recording. The UDA-1 also supports compressed formats like MP3, AAC, ATRAC and WMA, restoring sound just as the artist intended.
Listen like you’re in a recording studio
Enjoy your music in the highest possible sound quality2. High-Resolution Audio converts analogue sound to digital at a higher sample rate than CDs, producing sound at 24-bit/96kHz, compared to CDs at 16bit/44.1kHz, so you hear more of the detail in every track.
Upscale compressed music with DSEE
The Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) upscales your compressed digital music files (MP3, ACC, ATRAC and WMA) close to CD quality3. By restoring the high-range sound lost in the compression process, DSEE produces your digital music files in rich, natural sound, closer to the quality of the original recording.
Strong chassis, pure sound
Packing 2 x 23W analogue amplifiers into a highly rigid, 3mm-thick aluminium chassis, the UDA-1 ensures the audio output from your PC music collection is crystal clear.
Control how you play
Connect your PC and let the UDA-1 get to work. Download the High-Resolution Audio Player app from Sony to your PC and play your digital music at a High-Resolution Audio standard. Or play direct from your favourite music player such as iTunes, Media Go or Windows Media.
