Whoa, Fiio just made a sound card that looks like a toy! Welcome to Tech After Dark, I'm Rocco, here with Nova, and this is the Mage, a U S B-C gaming sound card. Not a toy. Notebookcheck calls it a petite D A C that just looks like a retro game controller. It's meant for phones and consoles like the Nintendo Switch. Okay Nova, but what's in it for gamers? Double press a button and you get 7.1 virtual surround, so footsteps seem to come from all around you.

And A I noise reduction keeps your mic clear in game chat. Wait, and it charges my phone too? Price, please! Yep, 60 watt pass-through, so your phone charges while you play. It's 21.99 dollars on Amazon, or 32.29 dollars from Fiio's AliExpress store, so don't borrow mine. Full Notebookcheck post is linked, see you next time.
