Working with your MacBook in Starbucks? Running in the fresh morning air? Snoozing with your smart device on a flight?
Take the hip-dac, our mini DAC/headphone amplifier, with you wherever you go. Improved music on the move. Great looks and fabulous sound.
For music lovers everywhere
Our miniature DAC/headphone amplifier replaces the inferior DAC and amp in your smart device, PC or Mac. Simply connect the hip-dac via USB, insert headphones and away you go.
Relax with your favourite music streamer, Spotify, Apple Music or Tidal as the hip-dac delivers a sound brimming with bold dynamism and fluid refinement.
Balanced. Because you’re worth it.
Balanced audio circuits mean less unwanted noise.
The hip-dac boasts a balanced, analogue stage to bring you the best musicality for miles around.
It sports a 4.4mm balanced output for balanced headphone cables/connectors.
For those ‘hissy’ IEMs, use the 3.5mm S-Balanced. Enjoy all the benefits of balanced from your single-ended connection.
It’s still all about the bass…
xBass – our iFi optional sonic adjustment is still very much in vogue and addresses the lack of bass that’s often apparent with in-ears or open back headphones.
Boost that bass, and “bring the booty back” to your iEMs with the hip-dac.
Long may it last…
And with extensive battery life, you can take it out with you all day.
The hip-dac can join you at the gym first thing, take you out for lunch and keep your feet a tapping on your journey home.
hip-dac. Amazing sound. Stunning looks.
Enjoy high quality sound for up to 8 hours, even if you are using headphones requiring a lot of power such as the HifiMan HE-6 or as little as the Sennhesier IE-800.
