Built-in DAC and hi-res playback

Reviews repeatedly confirm hi-res playback support, though they focus on playback capability rather than DAC specifics.

One review specifically highlights the integrated DAC and 24-bit/96kHz playback support as a real value-add for budget wired listening.

The built-in DAC and hi-res USB playback are among the headphone's clearest differentiators, and many reviewers treat DAC mode as a headline feature.

Multiple sources highlight 48kHz lossless playback over USB-C as a useful modern upgrade on an otherwise old-school wired design.

Wired USB-C lossless playback up to 24-bit/48kHz is widely supported in the reviews and often described as a useful sound-quality and latency benefit.

Hi-res playback support was supported by LDAC and wired/wireless hi-res certification in several reviews, although none provided evidence for a dedicated built-in DAC.

The Maxwell’s internal DAC and high-resolution playback support are highlighted as part of its strong digital audio feature set.

The headphones support hi-res wired playback, with the DAC and USB-C path called out directly.

The included DAC or USB-C audio box is useful and removes the need for a separate DAC, but the reviews do not provide hi-res playback evidence.

Hi-res playback support is a plus here. LDAC and high-res audio claims were repeatedly highlighted, though reviewers focused more on wireless playback than any dedicated DAC behavior.

The reviews support the hi-res playback side of this feature through LDAC and Hi-Res Wireless branding, even if no reviewer highlights a dedicated DAC.

Hi-res playback support is a real strength through LDAC and wired hi-res listening, even if reviewers do not deeply evaluate any internal DAC architecture.

High-resolution playback support is part of the appeal, with one review explicitly tying it to LDAC.

One review notes support for up to 24-bit/48kHz over the wireless path, which is positioned as sufficient for casual audiophile use rather than a flagship hi-res focus.
