NuForce Air DAC's wireless technology lets you stream music from your computer USB port, iPhone, iPad or iPod
to up to four different receivers throughout your home or office. Easily get CD-quality sound with no latency and no
interference throughout your environment—wirelessly, with Air DAC.
The NuForce Air DAC wireless DAC/receiver and associated TX transmitters are based on a new wireless
technology known as SKAA (www.skaa.com
interface across different SKAA devices. SKAA technology has several advantages resulting in CD-quality sound
and ease of setup described in more detail below.

About the Air DAC and SKAA wireless technology
With Air DAC, you don't move to the music—the music moves with you.
The Air DAC Wireless System is a combination wireless transmitter (iTX or uTX) and radio receiver (Air DAC) that
operates in the 2.4GHz radio band. The Air DAC Receiver utilizes a premium quality Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) stage and simple one-button SKAA control.
Unlike similar devices, the Air DAC and associated TX transmitters do not experience the typical loss in sound
quality or interference capability of cell phones and other wireless devices. Rather, they offer CD-quality sound,
virtually no latency, a 15-30 meter range, and a spread-spectrum technology that detects and chooses from
among available frequency spectrums in order to avoid interference.
The NuForce Air DAC Wireless Receiver and any device fitted with an appropriate matching TX transmitter can be
combined to form a wireless audio network. Each transmitter can send audio to four receivers, and each
receiver can connect to as many as four transmitters.
Just link your Apple mobile device wirelessly to multiple amplifier/speaker systems located throughout your home.
Then simply walk into any room with your portable player—the system automatically locks on to its signal—and
stream your music to the speakers in that space. Move to the next room and stream music from the same device
to that room's receiver or pair of speakers. Wherever you roam in your home or office, your music is with you.
). SKAA provides seamless operation and a consistent user
CD-quality sound, no latency, no interference with other Wi-Fi signals
Simple control and setup — no software, setup or pairing
Stream music to up to four receivers, and from up to four devices
Works with any digital audio from music, movies, and games
Works anywhere without interference — no wifi "hot spot" needed for reception
Features:
Can receive and lock with up to four independent iTX-100/uTX-100 transmitters.
Simple operation —Use the single front-panel switch to step through each of the available transmitters within
range of the receiver. The cycle returns to first transmitter after selecting the last available transmitter.
CD-quality performance
Extra-wide wireless audio range covers larger environments — iTX-100 range approximately spans 10-20m;
uTX-100 range spans approximately 15-30m depending on conditions.
uTX (for USB device) Transmitter is cross-platform (Mac/PC), so there's no need to install drivers.
The iTX similarly connects to a standard analog dock when mated with Apple iPod , iPhone and iPad.
