The new M-DAC is Audiolab's smallest, most affordable high-resolution DAC/headphone amp yet

Audiolab has confirmed the fourth iteration of its powerful M-DAC headphone amp is ready to launch, six years after the very first version hit the market in 2011. The M-DAC Mini is the smallest hi-res DAC/headphone amp in the range and at less than £300, it's also the most affordable.

With wired and wireless connectivity options to boost sound quality from all manner of digital devices - from phones and computers to TVs and games consoles - the M-DAC Mini brings all the features from its forbears without losing any power or functionality.

The first of the series to do away with mains supply wiring altogether, the M-DAC Mini comes with optical and coaxial digital inputs and outputs, Type-A and Mini-B USB inputs and much more. So whether you're just looking to save space at home or take it on the road, the M-DAC Mini is a real game changer (and an affordable one, too).

The Audiolab M-DAC Mini is available from June with a price tag of £299.95.
