Anyone who’s ever tried walking around with a dongle DAC dangling from their phone knows the pain — cables tangling, connectors bending, and that awkward “dongle bulge” in your pocket. Dekoni Audio, best known for its premium earpads and replacement cables, just dropped a clever fix: the MagDAC Holder, a smart and sturdy solution that keeps your portable DAC/amp securely attached to your smartphone. It’s a simple, accurate answer to one of the most annoying problems in modern portable hi-fi.
The Problem with Dongle DACs
Portable DACs are essential tools for audiophiles who want to unlock the full potential of their wired headphones when using a smartphone or other mobile source. Devices like the iFi Go Bar, Questyle M15, and FiiO KA series deliver outstanding sound quality, but there’s always a catch — you’re forced to deal with the physical reality of tethering a DAC to your phone. For anyone with an active lifestyle, that means tangled cables, awkward setups, and a lot of pocket gymnastics that can take the fun out of listening on the go.
The MagDAC Holder
To tackle the chaos of cables and clunky setups, Dekoni has introduced the MagDAC Holder — a clever accessory designed to bring order to your portable rig. Using strong magnets to attach directly to your smartphone and a universal elastic strap to secure your DAC/amp, it unites both devices into one sleek, compact unit you can easily handle with one hand. No more juggling gear or wrestling with cords — the MagDAC Holder keeps your setup clean, practical, and ready for real-world use.
The Dekoni MagDAC is compatible with many portable DACs, including the iFi Go Bar, Shanling UA series, Hidizs S series, Cayin RU7. For music lovers who own a portable DAC, the MagDAC Holder is the upgrade they didn’t know they needed.
