The Coda itself is a bar of metal measuring 2.5КєL (with cap) x 0.9КєW x 0.4КєD, finished in attractive matte black, with its USB-A connector at one end and a 3.5mm jack on the other end. There are also a matching metal cap for the CodaвЂ™s USB-A blade, and the Operations Manual. This leaves room in the caseвЂ™s other half for another accessory, such as a 1/8Кє-to-1/4Кє adapter. Inside the case are the Coda and an adapter cable (female USB-A to male USB-C), both held in place with cargo netting. The Clarus Coda comes in a retail box, inside which is another box that holds the CodaвЂ™s case-a satin-black, zippered clamshell thatвЂ™s stiff but not hard, with a bit of give.

On paper, Clarus has produced the most feature-rich portable USB DAC IвЂ™ve seen. But that never affected its operation-it even worked when used as a line-level DAC (its maximum output is 2.0V, which is line level), with the caveats outlined below. The only downside of its 0.8 ounce (24gm) was that it occasionally sagged a bit in the USB slot with headphones plugged in. IвЂ™m not suggesting that you actually try that, but it has a nice weighty feel that I often associate with quality. Its no-nonsense, all-business design makes it look and feel as if it could be run over with a truck and still work fine. The Coda doesnвЂ™t look as flashy as the DragonFlys, or as utilitarian as the Monoprice models.

Perhaps 384kHz will be offered in a firmware update-Clarus can update the CodaвЂ™s firmware via the Internet. ItвЂ™s a bit strange that the Coda will decode 352.8kHz but not 384kHz signals-not that thereвЂ™s much out there above 24/192, but still, itвЂ™s odd. Besides rendering MQA signals, the Coda can also handle higher sample rates than its competitors, which tend to top out at 24-bit/96kHz PCM compared to the CodaвЂ™s 24/352.8 and DSD over PCM (DoP) 128 (no native DSD). Clarus says little about their headphone amplifier, other than that it runs in class-G, a more efficient form of class-AB that draws only as much voltage as it needs to supply the output.

Instead of one of the ESS Technology mobile chips used in most competing USB DACs, including AudioQuestвЂ™s, the Coda has an ESS Professional Series DAC chip. Clarus introduced the Coda in December 2020, and proclaim it as the finest portable USB DAC now available. Now another well-regarded cable company, Clarus Cable, is directly challenging AudioQuestвЂ™s current flagship DAC, the DragonFly Cobalt. Even Monoprice, purveyor of high-value, no-frills audio gear, has gotten in the game. Since 2012, when AudioQuest introduced their DragonFly portable USB DAC and, in the process, created a new type of audio product, everyone else has been playing catch-up.
