{"product_id":"apogee-groove-anniversary-edition-390398","title":"Groove Anniversary Edition","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn Anniversary Edition Groove that pushes Apogee's legacy even further\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the Groove Anniversary Edition, Apogee highlights four decades of expertise in digital-to-analog conversion in an ultra-simple format to integrate into daily use. This Anniversary version carries the spirit of the Groove, a compact DAC\/headphone amplifier designed to \"remove the glass\" between you and your music, while offering improved dynamic range, frequency response, and distortion. The goal remains the same: to provide faithful and inspiring playback, whether you are in the creation, editing, mix checking phase, or enjoying high-resolution streaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is it for and what are its uses? A DAC\/headphone amplifier made for production, mixing, and premium listening\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Groove Anniversary Edition is aimed at musicians, producers, beatmakers, sound engineers, and content creators who want a \u003cstrong\u003eportable DAC\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of revealing the details of a recording on headphones without setting up a full hi-fi system. It is also perfectly suited for users who switch between studio, travel, and office, seeking a transparent sound signature to control tonal balance, stereo imaging, reverbs, or low-end spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with iOS, Mac, and PC, it becomes a central link for reference listening across various sources: production sessions, pre-listening before export, master verification, or simple listening pleasure. The compact format and stereo mini-jack headphone output make it a practical tool for headphone work, mix comparison, and maintaining sonic continuity from one environment to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConversion, dynamics, and headphone driving: key points of the Groove Anniversary Edition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eESS DAC up to 192 kHz \/ 32-bit: precision and definition serving your decisions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Groove Anniversary Edition is a conversion based on an \u003cstrong\u003eESS DAC\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of reaching up to 192 kHz \/ 32-bit. This high resolution promotes nuanced playback: clearer attacks, cleaner transients, and better perception of ambiances. In production as well as critical listening, this translates into more instinctive choices on equalization, dynamics, and stereo space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e4 DACs per channel: an architecture designed to optimize dynamics and reduce distortion\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eApogee highlights an architecture with \u003cstrong\u003e4 DACs per channel\u003c\/strong\u003e, aiming for higher dynamic range and lower distortion. With a \u003cstrong\u003edynamic range rated at 119 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Groove Anniversary Edition helps distinguish low-level details (reverb tails, room noise, breaths, subtle harmonies) without masking the energy of loud passages. This is a tangible asset for controlling perceived level, layer balance, and overall mix coherence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\"Constant Current Drive\": controlled frequency response with any type of headphone\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eConstant Current Drive\u003c\/strong\u003e technology is designed to achieve a smooth and coherent frequency response across a wide range of headphones, regardless of their impedance. In practice, this allows maintaining a balanced sound when switching from one headphone to another, and making the most of your headphone monitoring for editing, mixing, and high-resolution listening. The result: fewer hesitations, more confidence, and a more natural translation of your decisions when re-listening on other systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRackable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResolution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eup to 192 kHz \/ 32-bit\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eConstant Current Drive\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArchitecture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e4 DACs per channel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1x 3.5mm stereo jack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e119 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eiOS, Mac, and PC\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Apogee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54362075758867,"sku":"390398","price":351.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/d9730c3e3d349526cc63e186470cdc331219964a_1APOGEE_GROOVE_ANNIVERSARY.jpg?v=1792661700","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/apogee-groove-anniversary-edition-390398","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
