Arcam rPAC - USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier Enhance your computer audio with the Arcam rPAC, a compact USB DAC and headphone amplifier delivering hi-fi sound quality for music, gaming, and movies at home, office, or on the go. Overview The Arcam rPAC is designed to upgrade audio playback from your computer, whether you’re streaming from services like Spotify or playing local files. Standard Macs and PCs are not optimised for high-quality audio, but the rPAC provides a pocket-sized, hi-fi-grade solution that delivers stunning clarity and precision—from low-bitrate internet radio to better-than-CD-quality downloads. Beyond music, the rPAC enhances all your computer entertainment, including gaming, movies, and catch-up TV services such as BBC iPlayer and Sky Go. Connect the rPAC to your Windows XP, 7, or Mac OSX computer via the supplied USB cable (Linux is not supported), then connect to your audio system using the included RCA lead or use the high-quality headphone amplifier with volume controls for private listening. Powered via USB, the rPAC requires no batteries or mains power. Its durable, precision cast aluminium case fits discreetly beside any desktop or laptop, making it ideal for home, office, or travel use. A carry case is included for easy portability.
