iFi Hip-dac2 - Portable Balanced DAC Headphone Amplifier for Android, iPhone with USB Input Only/Outputs: 3.5mm Unbalanced / 4.4mm Balanced – MQA Decoder

Great little DAC

Very very good portable headphone amp/dac. Only criticism would be the bass balance, too little with xbass turned off, overpowering when turned on.

手にして、私のネットワークプレーヤーに対応してない事に気付き、すぐ返品しました。こちらが悪いにせよ、引き取り額が極めて高いのは不当である。

PIC: Under the phone is the HipDac 2. I bought the original HipDac and liked it so much getting the HipDac2 was a no brainer. The HipDac is the most powerful, portable and flexible DAC you can buy for under $200. Despite it being geared for headphone mobile us, after looking at the specs and the capabilities, I literally found it to be a quite capable desktop DAC. The only drawback in doing so is having to use a 3mm headphone jack for output to the rest of my stereo chain. I listen to Spotify or Tidal all day in my home office. I use the premium subscriptions for each Spotify for playlist listening, Tidal for reviewing artists and previewing for vinyl purchases. The HipDac goes into other low cost gear...from the HipDac it goes to a Fosi MM tube pre-amp that also doubles as a signal pre. From there it loops through a Bellari EQ570 and on to a Nobsound 6p1 tube amp. (Rolled to HQ tubes) from there out to the very excellent Wharfdale 80th Anniversary Dentons. I use the line matching button and extra bass, I run the level on the HipDac at about 1 o'clock and control the overall volume at the amp. Some caveats of using it as a HiFi system DAC. The major drawback is getting the streaming audio to it takes up some space on the rack. Yes, you can use a phone, PC, laptop or tablet but for phones and tablets, it is problematic to charge and play at the same time. I have had inconsistent success doing so with both Android and iOS devices. I ended up sticking with a Lenovo tablet and using USB Audio Player Pro's custom android audio driver for Tidal and native spotify use. USBAPP drive will take over chores and provide bit perfect streaming with their Tidal implementation. Using spotify native app is pretty much seamless. The Lenovo gives me 12-14 hours of playing time. Spotify premium allows 320 kbits steaming and frankly for all day listening I find Spotify audio quality very consistent and non-fatiguing. Plus they have excellent playlists for office/work music. Tidal MQA works well and is extremely high quality, so much so it will show you the true levels of the recordings complete with all the scratchy instrument hairballs and magnetic dust bunnies. This detail can be fatiguing to listen to. There is a learning curve to getting the highest audio quality possible for least amount of $$ possible. If you are into that quest the HipDac2 is a good place to start regardless how you use it, it is simply a really good device. If it is your first time using a DAC you discover things in your favorite music, in the recording and in the voices of singers and instruments that you never heard before because you were listening to a crappy DAC and low resolution stream. If you are already a long time audiophile and want to move beyond the limitations of wireless headphone listening or phone onboard DACS you will. be rewarded.

Pas adapté du tout comme ampli casque nomade avec FIIO 5II pas de cable adapté en asymétrique ou symétrique, peux de détails ou options sur le manuel de branchement, je pense avoir mal choisi mon ampli casque à mettre notamment avec casque beyer dynamic DT990 pro 250 ohms, le produit est de parfaite fabrication et d'une écoute optimume branché sur un ordi pc ou mac les drivers à télécharger sont adaptés à tous systémes pc ou Mac

El hip DAC es un excelente DAC para poder utilizarlo con tu laptop, tablet o celular. En cuanto a materiales tiene excelente calidad de construcción y ese color naranja está increíble (eso depende de los gustos y es muy subjetivo). Los botones se sienten sólidos y la rueda de volumen de excelente calidad. Su tamaño es bastante compacto para lo que es (y su potencia de amplificación). Decidí comprar este DAC y hacerlo mi segundo (el primero fue iFi Zen DAC) ya que me gusta esta firma de sonido, bastante cálida y sabrosa, tiene muy buena extensión en graves (no necesito usar el Extra Bass, al menos no con mis audífonos Sennheiser IE300), y bastante claridad en medios; los agudos se sienten redondeados y poco o nada sibilantes. Utilizo el Hip DAC con Apple Music Lossless y Hi-Res Lossless, lo he utilizado con un iPad Pro, un iPhone y una MacBook y va increíblemente bien. En general, es una gran opción para llevar al trabajo, a la oficina, o andar por ahí y tener una buena calidad de audio. Pros: + Buen sonido, cálido y claro. + Buen bajo. + Excelentes materiales de construcción. + Bonito color (subjetivo). Contras: - Puede ser muy grande para algunas personas, sobre todo incómodo para llevártelo en tu pantalón. - Si eres usuario de iOS (iPhone) necesitarás un adaptador u OTG. Conclusión: Recomendado.

Este DAC pode funcionar de duas formas distintas. Como um DAC portátil ligado a um telemovel para fornecer uma qualidade de som que o telemovel não consegue fornecer, usando phones de boa qualidade. Também pode ser usado como um DAC desktop ligado a um PC, fornecendo aqui também uma qualidade de som que a maioria das placas/chips de som não conseguem fornecer. Neste modo, ligamos o DAC via USB-A para a transmissão da informação musical, e ligamos via USB-C a um adaptador AC ou a outro porto USB do PC para fornecer energia ao DAC. Seja de que modo se usar, o resultado é fant'stico a nivel sonoro. Obviamente para tirar proveito do som, é obrigatório usar phones/auscultadores de qualidade... Os produtos iFi são excelentes. Quanto ao serviço de transporte, a encomenda foi entregue em menos de 24h em Lisboa, portanto, excelente serviço por parte da empresa distribuidora da marca iFi em Espanha. Recomendo!
