New xDuoo Link10: Pocket-sized DAC/Amp
New launch: A DAC/Amp the size of your keyfob
The xDuoo Link10 is now available—a compact USB DAC and headphone amplifier that’s built for everyday carry. Smaller than most car key fobs, it delivers incredible decoding power with dual Cirrus Logic DAC chips, balanced and unbalanced outputs, and enough power to run full-sized headphones. There’s no battery to charge or drivers to install. Just plug in and enjoy clean, detailed audio from your phone, laptop, tablet, or console.
Dual DACs, one per channel
The Link10 uses a dual-DAC architecture—one Cirrus Logic CS43131 chip per channel. These are low-power chips with high efficiency and clean, natural sound. Their symmetrical configuration enables true balanced output and high signal-to-noise ratios—up to 130dB. You’ll hear deeper silence between notes, better separation between instruments, and a clearer image of your music.
Drives full-size headphones
Despite its size, the Link10 pushes 300mW into 32Ω from the 4.4mm balanced out and 270mW into 150Ω—plenty for a wide range of dynamic and planar magnetic headphones. That kind of power eliminates the need for a secondary amplifier in most portable setups. You can use it with sensitive IEMs or even higher-impedance over-ears.
Digital volume, 60 steps
Analog volume knobs can introduce channel imbalance at low levels. The Link10 avoids this by using a 60-step digital volume control that adjusts cleanly across all impedances.
Built for phones, tablets, and consoles
The Link10 supports both USB Audio Class 1.0 and 2.0. That means it works with Android phones, iPads, laptops, and even gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation—without needing a separate driver.
No battery, no hassle
Because it draws power from your device, the Link10 doesn’t need to be charged. No cables to remember, no battery level to monitor, and no recharging downtime.
Removable USB-C cable
The included USB-C cable can be swapped out for others, giving you more flexibility with different devices and cable lengths. Whether you need to connect to a phone with a case or a laptop across your desk, you can use whatever cable works best for your setup.
Aluminum shell, pocket-friendly weight
Machined from a solid block of aluminum, the Link10 has a durable, interference-resistant chassis. It weighs just 0.88oz (25g), making it light enough for daily carry but substantial enough to feel like a serious piece of gear.
