HI-FI TRENDS reports:
" iFi hip-dac will be available in February at an RRP of $149 in the U.S and will be showcased at CanJam NYC 2020. "
• T2200mAh battery rated for around eight to 12 hours of playing time
• Comes bundled with three USB cables- USB-C OTG (On-The-Go) cable, USB Type-A cable & a Type A to USB-C charging cable.
• Delivers hi-res, ‘bit perfect’ PCM and DXD up to 384kHz and up to DSD256 as well as MQA.
• 4.4mm sockets for balanced headphones.
• Utilise the benefits of balanced with normal headphones as the 3.5mm single-ended socket uses 'S-Balanced' technology "to cut crosstalk and distortion in half".
• The analogue output stage is a balanced (differential) design for less interference and crosstalk.
• Talior the sound of the hip-dac to "personal playback priorities" with additional, exclusive iFi firmware.
• PowerMatch – switchable gain – to cater for headphone sensitivity.
• XBass - o add missing base to open backed headphones or IEMs
How does it compare to the iFi nano iDSD Black Label or the xDSD?
Or the desktop iFi ZEN DAC?
