The uDAC3 Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC) and combined headphone amplifier significantly upgrades any computer's sound output. It simply connects to the computers USB port and extracts every last nuance and detail from your digital music collection.
Small enough to fit in your pocket, but packing the serious earphone power required to produce the extra bass and volume in the noisiest of environments, the uDAC3 helps you to enjoy perfect sound from your laptop wherever you are. The uDAC3 uses USB for the audio connection, bypassing your laptop's soundcard and earphone output. It then processes your digital music directly - giving you much better sound than is possible from your laptops earphone output. The uDAC3 is perfect for use at home as well as when you're out and about. Unusually for an ultra-portable DAC, it has both analogue and digital output connections - in addition to the earphone amplifier - so you can connect it to your amplifier and speakers at home or in the studio.
The uDAC3 is not just for music lovers; if you're a gamer you will experience a more accurate and realistic sound track, and you'll hear subtle audio cues that others won't, therefore increasing your performance and enjoyment. Musicians, producers and DJ's can use the uDAC3 as an ultra-portable monitoring solution enabling them to work anywhere with ultimate precision. If you use Skype, YouTube, watch movies or use online music services (like Spotify or Pandora) the uDAC3 provides you with the perfect audio accompaniment.

Don't know what it does. Bought it because people said it was cheap.

"significantly upgrades any computer's sound output" and "extracts every last nuance and detail from your digital music collection." sounds like the weird nonsense that £100 hdmi cables claim.

80mw @ 16ohms. It doesn't look very powerful unless I'm mistaken.

It will if it supports OTG. I think you need Android 5.0+ for USB DAC, not 100% sure. Don't know about other phones.

The difference here is that it turns a digital signal into an analogue signal. This process isn't just transfering 0's and 1's like a HDMI cable.
