Apogee claims that Groove’s circuit design provides an even distribution of output power across the audible frequency spectrum, correcting impedance imperfections often found in entry-level headphones and powering a headphones output — with no software. All you do is connect Groove to your Mac or PC with the included USB 2.0 cable and plug in headphones or speakers (or to a system amplifier) into Groove’s ⅛” (3.5 mm) analog output.
