Enhanced design and functionality. iFi HIP-DAC 3, now available in Titanium Shadow color and enclosed in a sleek aluminum frame, not only impresses visually but also includes a range of updated features and circuit enhancements, such as new metal film capacitors and an updated GMT circuit for improved sound quality.
Universal audio support and playback time. The HIP-DAC 3 provides extensive audio data support, including high-resolution PCM and DXD up to 384kHz, DSD from 2.8MHz to 12.4MHz, as well as full MQA decoding. It also offers noticeable battery life of 7 to 10 hours with a 2200mAh capacity battery and comes with a USB-C OTG cable and a USB-A - USB-C cable.
Located under the amplifier, the switch includes iFi iEMatch technology, optimizing the output signal for high-sensitivity headphones, especially in-ear monitors (IEM). It reduces noise levels, improves detail and dynamic range, and increases volume control range.
XBass - a user-selectable feature that boosts low frequencies without drowning out the mids, ideal for in-ear headphones and open-back headphones. It operates in the analog domain, avoiding changes with DSP.
Advanced connectivity options and convenient control. Equipped with two USB-C ports for cable routing simplicity, the device ensures clear, high-quality sound reproduction and simultaneous charging. Additionally, convenient control elements are integrated, such as a switch for activating iFi's iEMatch technology and LEDs indicating the incoming sound format and sampling frequency.
Optimized sound quality. The true balanced circuitry of HIP-DAC 3 guarantees optimal performance and clean sound by minimizing signal distortion and efficiently driving a wide range of headphones up to 400mW into a 32-ohm load.
