I’m pretty impressed with the ARC ON EAR from IK Multimedia. Check the video to find out what the ARC ON EAR does, how it works and hear about my experience with it. As some who does a lot of mixing on headphones, this one was interesting and a lot of fun to test out.

The ARC ON EAR is a portable DAC / preamp that offers correction tuning and studio simulation for your reference monitoring headphones.
