Schiit Fulla Desktop DAC-Amplifier for Gaming and Communications

About the item

Total Flexibility for Gaming, Music, and Communications

Plug Fulla E into virtually any USB port, connect your headphones and microphone, and you’re set for amazing sound. But that’s only the start:

• Use it for gaming. Fulla E works seamlessly with many popular consoles like PS4, PS5, and Switch, as well as PCs, Macs, and tablets.
• Use it for working at home. It's ideal for use with a headset for remote office environments— the audio quality of both the headphone and mic provide crystal-clear communications.
• Use it for music or movies. You don’t need to be a gamer to appreciate the quality of Fulla E—use it just to listen to music or connect to virtually any smart TV with the included optical port.
• Use it as a DAC/preamp. Connect to powered monitors or speaker amps using the preamp output, to create a complete system.
• Use it with phones, tablets, or computers with low-powered USB ports. We’ve included a second USB port for power input. Plug in your phone charger (or any other 5V DC source with micro-USB output) and Fulla E tells your source it doesn’t need any power.

Top-Shelf Components

Fulla E is based on the ESS ES9018 D/A converter, coupled with an Alps RK09 potentiometer, high-quality filter and amp stages from Texas Instruments, and well as precision thin-film resistors and film capacitors. Fulla E delivers performance far beyond its modest price. 

Plenty of Headphone Power

Fulla E delivers a super punch, up to 300mW into 16 ohms, together with a vanishingly low noise floor and low output impedance. Or, in English, this means it’s a great match for virtually any headphone.

Amazing Mic Input

Your friends may think you’ve started your own podcast when they hear Fulla E’s 24-bit microphone input with TI analog-to-digital converter. And automatic gain control makes the mic adjustment-free and super simple to use.

Designed and Built in the USA

By “designed and built in the USA" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Fulla—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made in California. Our PCBs are made in California or Nevada, and it all comes together in our Corpus Christi facility.
