ARC ON•EAR is a standalone headphone DAC and amplifier that corrects your headphone's response and recreates the experience of mixing on professional studio monitors. Just released, it's already earning awards and recognition from music-making professionals.
In this video, Drew Vespers of Warp Academy discusses the development of ARC ON•EAR and why it's as close as you can get to the sound of a control room on headphones. Have a look.
I've been searching for a solution that emulates the sound of this studio in something mobile that I can take with me. I finally found it.
ARC ON•EAR is the closest thing I've ever heard to what it feels like to sit right here in this chair.

The last time I recommended a headphone DAC was the Apogee Groove in 2017. I'm replacing it now because that spaghetti-mess of technology was inconvenient and more expensive. It's been entirely superseded by this sleek, standalone box.
