ASUS ROG Clavis USB-C to 3.5mm Gaming DAC with AI Noise Canceling

The ASUS ROG CLAVIS is a USB C to 3.5 mm gaming DAC that turns an ordinary headset into a high-fidelity listening device. It plugs into devices such as Windows or Mac computers, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and mobile phones, so you can carry one audio upgrade wherever you play or work.

Inside a housing made from aluminum that takes up very little space sits an ESS 9281 QUAD DAC with an integrated amplifier. The four DACs handle bass, midrange, treble, and ultra-high frequencies individually, then merge them into a single low-distortion signal. The result is game audio that reveals subtle footsteps, music that breathes, and movies that sound more lifelike.

Voice chat and online calls benefit from built-in AI noise canceling. The algorithm references a library of more than five hundred million background noises and removes distractions such as keyboard clicks, traffic, or a desk fan. Your squad hears only your voice, so strategies stay clear in the heat of battle.

For music lovers, the DAC also acts as an MQA renderer. When you stream from services that support Master Quality Authenticated files, the ROG CLAVIS unfolds the signal to deliver studio-level resolution without extra equipment.

Set up is quick. Connect through USB C for modern laptops or consoles, or attach the included USB 2.0 adapter for desktops that lack a C port. Aura Sync RGB lighting adds a subtle accent that can synchronize with other ASUS gear, and the Armoury Crate app lets you adjust EQ curves or enable virtual 7.1 surround sound.

Whether you are a competitive gamer who wants positional accuracy, a content creator who needs clear voice capture, or a commuter who enjoys lossless music, the ROG CLAVIS provides a portable path to better sound without replacing your favorite headset.
