USB Type-C Audiophile DAC Amp Design
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I'm in need of a high-powered, USB Type-C powered audiophile-grade headphone DAC amp. This device should feature a built-in 20 band parametric equalizer and fit within a maximum size of about 70x40mm.
Key Features:
- USB Type-C input for both audio and power
- 3.5mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs
- DSP chip competent for a 20-band parametric EQ
- Four rotary encoders for Band, Frequency, Gain, and Q-Factor
- As large an OLED or TFT display as possible, considering power constraints
- EQ bypass switch
- Toggle switch for 'Lock' function
- Power status LED
Skills and Experience:
- Extensive experience in audio hardware development
- Proficient in working with USB Type-C
- Familiarity with designing compact devices
- Knowledge in DSP chipsets and parametric EQ
- Experience with designing and integrating displays in devices
- Prior work on creating headphone DAC amps is a plus
I'm open to suggestions and alternatives for the DSP chipsets and display types, as well as potential use cases for the DAC amp. Please provide your insights or recommendations based on your expertise.
