The Dirac-Higgs bundle is a hyperholomorphic bundle over the moduli space of stable Higgs bundles of coprime rank and degree. We extend this construction to the case of arbitrary rank $n$ and degree $0$, studying the associated connection and curvature. We then generalize to the case of rank $n > 1$ the Nahm transform defined by Frejlich and the second named author, which, out of a stable Higgs bundle, produces a vector bundle with connection over the moduli spaces of rank $1$ Higgs bundles. By performing the higher rank Nahm transform we obtain a hyperholomorphic bundle over the moduli space of stable Higgs bundles of rank $n$ and degree $0$, twisted by the gerbe of liftings of the projective universal bundle. Our hyperholomorphic vector bundles over the moduli space of stable Higgs bundles can be seen, in the physicists language, as $(BBB)$-branes twisted by the above mentioned gerbe. We then use the Fourier-Mukai and Fourier-Mukai-Nahm transforms to describe the corresponding dual branes restricted to the smooth locus of the Hitchin fibration. The dual branes are checked to be $(BAA)$-branes supported on a complex Lagrangian multisection of the Hitchin fibration.
