Hi-Res Gaming Audio System

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC is a complete Hi-Res certified gaming audio system. It combines a premium headset with an external GameDAC unit that handles digital-to-analogue conversion. The system connects via USB to PC or PlayStation consoles and includes an optical cable for additional connectivity. It is built for players who want lossless audio reproduction from source to ear.

Wired Audiophile Headset for PC and PlayStation

This system suits gamers who value high-fidelity wired audio and hardware EQ control via the GameDAC OLED interface. It supports Hi-Res formats such as WAV, FLAC and DSD at 96 kHz and 24-bit. The ClearCast microphone provides studio-quality voice clarity with noise cancellation. Buyers needing wireless freedom or a simple 3.5 mm analogue connection without the DAC should look elsewhere.

ESS Sabre 9018 Reference DAC

The defining component is the ESS Sabre 9018 Reference DAC, delivering 121 dB dynamic range and -115 dB THD+N. This converter drives the 40 mm high-density neodymium drivers to reproduce frequencies up to 40000 Hz. The headset presents a 32 ohm impedance and 102 dB sensitivity. The GameDAC enables native 96 kHz 24-bit playback for Hi-Res sources.
