The Douk Audio Z1 is a desktop gaming DAC and headphone amp built around an ESS ES9039Q2M DAC, with up to 430mW at 32Ω from its 4.4mm balanced output and XLR and 3.5mm mic inputs backed by 48V phantom power. It suits PC and PS5 players who want game audio, voice chat and a condenser or dynamic mic handled by one box.
Who the Douk Audio Z1 is for
PC and PS5 gaming: Douk Audio says the Z1 works with PC, PS5 and mobile devices, and in USB mode it handles both game audio and microphone input.
Streaming and voice chat: XLR and 3.5mm inputs take dynamic or condenser mics, with switchable 48V phantom power, a mic volume knob and a mute button.
Game audio plus phone chat: In USB mode the Mix button blends USB, AUX-in and mic audio into your headphones and the AUX out, and returns the mix to the computer for monitoring or routing.
Music between matches: Treble, mid and bass knobs, 8 DAC filter modes and a swappable op-amp let you shape the sound, and the optical input plays PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz.
Skip it if: you want hi-res playback over USB: the USB input is limited to PCM 16-bit/48kHz, and the mic and mixing features are disabled on the optical input.
