Laptop Service & Laptop Parts: NuForce CEO teases Aerial DAC for high quality wireless audio streaming at CES (video)

Snuggled deep in the iLounge hall of CES, surrounded via numerous vendors of sixpenny phone cases and yesterday's news, we stumbled upon a company that did not quite belong. Known as NuForce, the firm is recognizable amongst audiophiles both all for its high-end gear and consumer roll that often shames overpriced competitors. As it happened, we stumbled upon a mysterious product known as the Air DAC, and happily, NuForce CEO, Jason Lim was on manus to impart us a tour. Withholding hi-tech glasses (for now), the product is built for high power wireless audio streaming and will ship as two crisp products -- one that operates over USB and another built for Apple's dock connector. We're also told that each transmitter can be paired near four Air DAC receivers and evil versa. Also, the product can be daisy-chained together to sheathing larger distances.

The DAC unit itself is rather Spartan, which features only a power connector and two RCA analog outs. Yea, digital ports would've been more alluring, but the Air DAC seems to be targeted at the average consumer and we're told it'll have a price to match. The unbroken point was completely fantastic when contend finished the Icon policy, which includes a separate amplifier and the Icon S-X speakers. Past once more, we would not have expected anything less, fixed the quality of the Icon setup to begin with. All for an introductory look at the system in action, metal sure to check the video after the break.
