If you're the kind of listener who still swears by wired audio but finds yourself constantly juggling DACs, cables, and adapters—Campfire Audio’s got something for you. Actually, two things. Hot on the heels of their new Andromeda 10 in-ear monitors, the Portland-based audio brand has launched the DAC Wallet and Time Link cable, both designed to make your wired listening setup feel less like a tech spaghetti plate and more like something you can actually take on the go.
Ever get annoyed by a dongle DAC flopping around while you're walking, or worse—yanking at your phone’s port? That’s the problem Campfire Audio’s DAC Wallet is trying to fix.
It’s a small leather pouch that snaps onto the back of your phone using magnets (MagSafe-style), and it holds a portable DAC in place—like Campfire’s own Relay DAC, but it works with plenty of others, too. If your phone doesn’t have MagSafe built-in, they include a stick-on magnetic ring, so you're covered.

The wallet also comes with a short USB-C cable that keeps everything tightly aligned—no more long cables hanging out of your pocket or putting unnecessary strain on your ports. It's all about keeping things low-profile and a little more pocket-friendly.
The idea is simple: your DAC doesn’t need to dangle. It can ride shotgun, magnetically attached to your phone, with a short clean cable connecting the two. It’s not a flashy piece of gear, but if you use a portable DAC regularly, it solves a real annoyance.
The DAC Wallet is available now on Amazon for $59.
Next up is the Time Link cable, and it’s a more advanced piece of kit.
At first glance, it’s just a headphone cable—but it’s got some useful tricks. It comes with swappable terminations: 3.5mm single-ended, 4.4mm balanced, and a USB-C plug that has a Cirrus Logic DAC built right in. That means you can plug it directly into your phone, laptop, or digital audio player without needing extra adapters or standalone DACs.

The cable itself is built from six conductors—three copper and three silver-plated copper—for clean signal transmission. And the included USB-C DAC supports up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256 playback. If that sounds like overkill, don’t worry—just know it’s ready for high-res audio files if that’s your thing.
There’s one caveat: the inline DAC isn’t a powerhouse. With 2 Vrms output, it’ll work great with IEMs or moderately sensitive headphones, but don’t expect it to drive your 600-ohm studio cans. This one’s designed with portability and flexibility in mind, not raw power.
So, if you're switching between a phone and a balanced DAP, or want a cleaner solution than juggling multiple cables and adapters, the Time Link could be worth considering.
The Time Link cable is priced at $299 and should also be available at Amazon soon.
Both of these accessories are clearly aimed at listeners who care about sound quality but don’t want to carry a gear bag just to listen to music during a walk. If you’ve already invested in IEMs or portable DACs, this is the kind of gear that makes your daily setup feel less like a compromise.

The DAC Wallet is a pretty affordable quality-of-life upgrade—especially if you’re tired of long cables or wear-and-tear on your ports. The Time Link cable is a bigger investment, but it brings a lot of flexibility in a single package. Whether it’s worth the $299 price tag really depends on how often you switch between devices and how much you value having a clean, all-in-one solution.
Campfire Audio’s latest accessories may not be flashy, but they address real-world frustrations faced by wired audio fans in an increasingly wireless world. What they’ve done is look at some of the most common pain points of wired audio—dangling dongles, port strain, carrying multiple adapters—and offer clean, practical solutions. The DAC Wallet keeps your gear where it belongs. The Time Link cable makes it easier to switch between sources without bringing a whole audio lab with you.
For anyone deep in the portable audio world—or just someone who still prefers wired sound but wants a tidier setup—these two could be a nice upgrade.
