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 quality. 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 aluminum chassis, the UDA-1 ensures the audio output from your PC music collection is crystal clear.

High-Resolution Audio
High-Resolution Audio takes your digital music to another level. By converting analogue music to digital at a higher rate than CDs - 24-bit/192kHz, as opposed to the 16-bit/44.1kHz rate of CDs - High-Resolution Audio is able to deliver better than CD quality sound, so you can get closer to the original studio recording.

DSEE technology
DSEE technology upgrades the quality of your compressed music files. When an original music source is compressed, you lose the high frequency elements of your music. DSEE restores this to produce high quality sound that's closer to the original CD recording.
