Wish your MacBook had better sound?
Apple unveiled their Apple Silicon MacBook Pro M3 at their 2023 Scary Fast Halloween event. The MacBook Pro M3 boasts cutting-edge performance, but there’s a spine-chilling truth. The audio experience falls short of its true potential.
Picture this: streaming your favourite tunes in jaw-dropping hi-res, from digital music platforms like Apple Music, Amazon Music HD, Tidal, and Qobuz. But here’s the catch: this isn’t possible with the MacBook Pro M3. Don’t worry; we’ve got the solution.
Don’t let your playlist be haunted by subpar audio quality. Transcend the limitations of your internal digital-to-analogue converter and headphone amp and supercharge your MacBook Pro M3 with our external USB-C DAC/Amps – unleash the true potential of your music.

Why is my Laptop’s DAC subpar?
Any device that outputs sound has a DAC in it, but this is often a generic system-on-a-chip style solution – it’s trying to do many things at once, under one chip. You need to separate the processes and get the professionals in to do the job properly. After all, sound should not just be heard, but experienced.
Our DACs are distinctly different. Crafted with premium audiophile-grade components and sophisticated circuit design, iFi sets a benchmark for uncompromising audio excellence.
