IKKO set out to give phones, whose built-in DACs are often limited, real hi-fi sound at an affordable price, and says the ITM05 pioneered the use of two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs in a portable amp, for PCM up to 384kHz\/32-bit and DSD256 with just 0.0008% distortion and a 122dB signal-to-noise ratio, from a 3.5mm output and a 2.5mm balanced output. It needs no battery, weighs 23g, and comes in USB-C and Lightning versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/ikko-itm05-music-patch-portable-dac-amp-photo-0.jpg?v=1791148482\" alt=\"IKKO ITM05 Music Patch on the back of a phone\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade to live on your phone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ITM05 is only as thick as an iPhone MagSafe accessory. Its connector has an integrated telescopic design, and an arc-shaped groove underneath helps it sit close against the back of the phone, which keeps the plug from working loose. It works even with a phone case on, and IKKO designed it so you can keep listening while your phone charges. The body is high-quality plastic with a soft PU-leather back and curved edges that make it thinner at the sides, for a soft, comfortable feel; adhesive pads hold it in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual CS43198 DACs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo CS43198 DACs handle the decoding, an approach IKKO says has clear advantages over ordinary headphone adapters and Bluetooth, with a battery-free, ultra-low-power design that draws its power from the phone or computer. It adapts to headphones from 16Ω to 600Ω and has a delicate, natural tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/img_proxy_cf1e4752-f80b-401d-9442-1942362cc750.jpg?v=1768418791\" alt=\"The two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs in the IKKO ITM05\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo outputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most dongle DACs, the ITM05 has two headphone sockets: a 3.5mm output at 2.1V and a professional 2.5mm balanced output at 2.0V.
