Connectivity and compatibility

This DAC supports a broad range of devices thanks to its USB-C connection and included USB 2.0 adapter. It works seamlessly with Windows and Mac computers, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and most mobile phones with USB-C ports. This flexibility makes it easy to upgrade audio quality across multiple platforms without needing separate equipment for each device.

Performance and reliability

The four DACs inside the ESS 9281 chip handle different frequency ranges independently, resulting in low-distortion sound that highlights subtle in-game audio cues and rich music details. The AI noise canceling technology ensures your voice comes through clearly during multiplayer sessions or online meetings by removing common background noises. The aluminum casing not only protects the internal components but also keeps the unit lightweight and durable for everyday use.

The ROG CLAVIS is well suited for competitive gamers who rely on precise positional audio to gain an edge, content creators who need clear voice capture, and music enthusiasts who want to enjoy lossless streaming with studio-grade quality. Its portability and device compatibility also make it a strong choice for commuters and remote workers seeking better sound without carrying bulky equipment.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
