It does. Or it says it does, it charges through the same USB port but has a DC power jack on the bottom too.

No, as long as you use something else that has a dac. This is essentially just an amp and dock for the e17 which is a portable dac

No. It has no amplifier in it, it is strictly a mixer. You have to use it with an external amplifier, or with amplified speakers.

you will have to plugin the microphone to your onboard. This DAC is for audio output only. If you are looking for a sound card for games i would look into an internal sound card: Asus Essence or HT Omega's prodcuts

Yes, this can be used as a DAC for android phones by using a micro USB OTG cable, as long as the phone's ROM and kernel support it. A large number of android phones does support this feature including the Samsung Galaxy S3.

An amp isn't necessary, however I have tried a friends DAC/AMP and it did sound better than my onboard audio on my computer, but that's the DAC more than the amp.

Yes it has a DAC because it has a headphone output jack. I assume the quality of the DAC is the same as the ADC used to digitize the audio to begin with. However, I have not used the phone jack.

The only way to connect the DAC to the AMP is with RCA. Input to the DAC is coax/toslink or USB. Output is only RCA. DAC, Digital in analog out.

Yes this basically is just a headphone amp which will amplify the sound. This amp is great, and will enhance the sound quality. Can be used with any sort of headphones, earbuds, and stereo's.

You may understand, I will point out there is no amplifier in the DAC. It's only a processor. That said, it makes an amazing difference in sound quality, such that I want to run all my music through it. I have been told that HDMI sound channels are superior. My ears prefer the sound from this device.

No, it is not a DAC. It is a preamplifier so the USB is output only to your computer with software such as Audacity (free to download).

I have heard with my ears and from Tek Syndicate on YouTube they do not need a DAC. So they should be fine with on board audio.

It has RCA inputs which can be used with a headphone => RCA adapter.The amplifier is powered by an external adapter, as you would not use the DAC and only the amplifier with an iPod, the other answer is wrong.

You can hook it up to anything with a red and white connection. Or if you get the rca to 3.5mm jack then you can hook it up to anything with an input slot. I used this on my realistic lab 440 which doesn't have a preamp. Once I connected the ground from my turntable into the ground slot on this amp, my music sounded loud and clear.

No. It is strictly an amplifier unit that requires another source, like an MP3 player.

Unfortunately no, I had this problem with my cell phone. If your phone supports otg USB you could get a dac box and use that.

No,This is for digital data only It does not have the bandwith/ throughput for audio
