The iBasso Macchiato is a portable DAC with a built-in headphone amplifier, designed to convert and amplify digital sources in a mobile setting. It features a dual CS43131 DAC architecture capable of decoding up to 32bit 384kHz PCM and DSD256, whilst delivering 2x 580mW of power into a 32Ω load.
The iBasso Macchiato utilises a dual CS43131 DAC architecture, enabling decoding up to 32bit 384kHz PCM and DSD256 to preserve the integrity of high-resolution audio streams whilst ensuring stable conversion across the entire audible spectrum. This conversion stage is complemented by an amplifier stage delivering 580mW + 580mW into 32Ω, enabling it to efficiently drive low and medium impedance headphones.


In addition to conversion, the device includes compatibility features, with microphone support via the 3.5 mm jack output, allowing the use of headphones with a built-in microphone. This is complemented by a UAC 1.0 mode, ensuring compatibility with older systems, whilst the SPDIF mode allows the Macchiato to be used as a digital transport, enabling the signal to be routed to an external DAC.
This versatility is complemented by direct control via physical buttons and a 0.96-inch OLED screen, providing clear feedback on key settings whilst reducing reliance on the source device. For finer tuning, the iBasso UAC app for Android allows you to adjust an 8-band equaliser, select digital filters and adjust the stereo balance, enabling you to tailor the sound to the headphones’ characteristics and your listening preferences.
