iFi Audio hip-dac2

The iFi hip-dac2 is the successor to the most popular first-gen hip-dac and is now even hipper! This wonderfully compact Hi-Res audio DAC headphone amplifier in the color Sunset Orange is shaped in a most modest design with which you will take it anywhere. Connect the all-new hip-dac2 with a USB or Lightning cable to your smartphone, plug-in your headphones and listen to your favorite music in a perfect sound quality anywhere you like. Thanks to its size, the hip-dac is perfectly suited for use with a smartphone, but you can also use it with a PC, Mac or laptop.

Balanced enjoyment

If your headphones are equipped with balanced headphone cables fitted with a 4.4mm Pentaconn jack, with this iFi hip-dac2 you'll get the best sound quality out of your premium headphones. If your headphones only come with a single-ended headphone cable and a 3.5mm headphone jack, thanks to the S-Balanced technology you can still take full advantage of the low distortion and high sound quality of the fully balanced hip-dac2 circuitry.

Way hipper-dac

No matter which headphones you intend to use with this cheerful-orange hip-dac2. PowerMatch lets you switch the gain so that virtually any headphone performs perfectly. XBass provides a slight bass-boost to ensure well-balanced sound quality while using open-back headphones and less-boost when using highly sensitive in-ear monitors. For outside use, iFi Audio has equipped the hip-dac2 with a powerful battery that provides up to 8 hours of ultimate listening pleasure.

Bit perfect, just like the original

The Burr-Brown DSD/DXD DAC that iFi applied can handle bit-perfect resolutions up to 32bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD256, just like its predecessor. Thanks to a powerful16-core XMOS chip, the hip-dac2 is now also a full-fledged MQA decoder. This enables you the best possible studio experience while enjoying the Tidal Master collection on the go. In this 2nd generation hip-dac, iFi has implemented an improved and jitter-shy GMT Femto precision clock that provides an even more vivid and sound quality than before. If you are looking for a DAC headphone amplifier that can really do it all and allows you to enjoy your favorite music in studio quality wherever you are, then this iFi hip-dac2 would be your perfect choice.
