High-Resolution Bluetooth & USB DAC/AMP Decoder:-
Audirect Beam 3 Plus can serve as both Bluetooth or USB high-resolution DAC/AMP device. There’s a switch at the top of the Beam 3 to choose between both modes. Usually, Bluetooth DAC/AMPs provide basic audio signal decoding up to 24kHz/48kHz bitrate, but the Beam 3 Plus provides high-resolution audio signal decoding with up to 32-Bit/768kHz bitrate. For DSD the Beam 3 Plus supports up to DSD512 natively.
