NuForce Launches the Air DAC Wireless Audio Streamer

The latest release from NuForce allows you to stream from up to four devices to up to four different sources.

If you've wanted to set up a whole home audio system without paying too terribly much, NuForce has the hookup. Their new Air DAC system lets you use up to four transmitters and four receivers, allowing you a great deal of freedom in determining what you listen to and where.

The Air DAC is simple to set up and doesn't require Wi-Fi - it operates on its own wireless tech that gives you a range between 15 and 30 meters. NuForce says you'll get CD quality sound and as close to no latency as is possible. You can even roam from room to room with your device and have your music, podcast or audio book follow along with you - Air DAC will automatically determine what room you're in and adjust to fit.

Air DAC receivers run $149 each, while transmitters come in at $59. A bundle of both costs $179, meaning you can get the full four-and-four setup for just over $700.

NuForce Releases the Dia Amplifier/DAC for Streaming Devices

At $299, NuForce's new DAC promises to give you improved sound at a reasonable price.

Your Blu-ray player sounds amazing, and why shouldn't it? It's capable of high quality sound right out of the box and if you've got it running through a nice receiver or amp to some quality speakers then you're enjoying some of the best sound out there right now. Streaming devices like the Roku player and Apple TV are a different story.

This doesn't please NuForce CEO Jason Lim. " We developed Dia out of my own personal frustration after I purchased an Apple TV and realized that there was no affordable and easy-to-use audiophile-grade digital amplifier solution," he says. "Dia is an answer for consumers that want phenomenal sound from the devices they already own without breaking the bank."

Of course, you can use it for more than just your over-the-top devices. Anything that you want to get nice clear 2.1 audio from. You can pick up the Dia on Amazon for $299.

NuForce Announces a New USB DAC/Headphone Amp

It's designed to help you get the most out of the sound files stored on your computer.

If you use a computer as your main source of music, it's likely that you're trying to deal in FLAC files as much as you can, or at least high bitrate MP3s. Most folks with a PC dedicated to audio have a nice pair of speakers set up with a sub to go along with it. Strangely, they still use the audio card that's built right into their hard drives.

The Icon uDAC-2SE USB is a digital audio converter and headphone amp in one that's designed specifically to interface with your computer. It bypass the on board audio card and converts your digital music, cleans up the jitter and even upsamples your tunes.

You can pick up the NuForce Icon uDAC-2SE USB now in red or black for $249.
