5 stars

The ROG Clavis is one of the smallest and most useful gadgets a gamer can buy. And at the same time, one of the best external DACs, not only in the gaming segment, but in general among external audio devices. And the only thing that can stop you is cost.

TotalTech Recommended Product

電腦DIY

有了 ROG Clavis 的加持，除了能夠大幅提升你我電腦或是智慧型裝的音效細節，對於頭戴式耳機的驅動力也有大幅提升的效果，讓低頻更加飽滿，瞬間的爆發力顯著提升，無論是流行音樂的低頻衝擊性，或是交響樂的大鼓也能爆棚，讓您省下買耳機擴大機的費用！

癮科技

ROG Clavis 值得稱許的地方則在於音質相當乾淨，縱使是搭配平衡電樞式的入耳式耳機也不太有因為電路隔離不良產生的粗噪聲底，這類的干擾聲也是不少平價微型 DAC 搭配靈敏度較高的耳機時的痛點。

音效上，個人覺得 ROG Clavis 的分音更佳清晰，人聲與樂器聲可分的更有層次，而且音量較小時也不會有底噪的煩惱

unikoshardware

整體來說，ROG Clavis 音效卡對於 3.5mm 耳機的音質提升可說是非常顯著，畢竟內部搭載的是高階擴大器，同時外觀上也非常對 ROG 粉絲的味，鋁合金質感搭配圖騰視覺化風格，直接對應 ROG 潮牌形象，推薦給本就是 ROG 粉絲的玩家，或是想要輕鬆幫原本 3.5mm 耳機提升音質的玩家。

Unlock a premium audio experience

The pocket-sized ROG Clavis USB digital-to-analog converter delivers a host of features to give any compatible headset a big upgrade. Its ESS 9281 QUAD DAC™ with a built-in amplifier and Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) rendering technology treats you to hi-fi-grade audio, while AI noise-canceling technology enhances headset microphones for crystal-clear voice communication.

ROG Clavis is made out of aluminum and features ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting for a premium look. It includes a USB-C®-to-3.5 mm jack and a bundled USB 2.0 adapter to ensure compatibility with most headphones and a host of devices.

ESS 9281 QUAD DAC™

The ESS 9281 DAC features QUAD DAC™ technology to provide lossless audio processing. Each of its four DACs devotes processing power to a subset of the audible frequency range, across lows, mids, highs to ultra-highs. The four signals are then combined to produce clearer sound with an impressive 130 dB signal-to-noise ratio, and an integrated amplifier supports up to 300 ohms of impedance. Hear every detail and enjoy crisp, clear sound for a true-to-life audio experience with ROG Clavis.

Built in MQA Renderer

Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) is an award-winning audio technology that delivers studio-quality sound and reveals every detail of the original recording. MQA rendering technology in ROG Clavis can connect to an MQA core signal – including those from global streaming service apps such as TIDAL – and complete the final "unfolding" of an MQA music file to provide incredible audio quality.

AI Noise-Canceling Technology

ROG Clavis uses AI to enhance headset communication.
