iFi Audio Hip-dac V2 Headphone DAC/Amplifier Meet the hip-dac2. Now in Sunset Orange with full MQA decoding. Our portable, hi-res DAC/headphone amp looks ultra cool in its new vibrant Sunset Orange. Not only has the hip-dac2's super sleek aluminium case had a update, but its insides have also been enhanced. The new 16-core XMOS chip, which processes data over USB, delivers double the clock speed and four times the memory. This improves overall performance and adds full MQA decoding to the hip-dac2's skill set. There also a upgraded crystal clock which contributes to purer, crisper sound. So, whether you are working in your fav coffee shop or chilling on your daily commute, sunrise or sunset, you'll definitely want to take the hip-dac2 with you wherever you go. Shooting .
I probably cannot add much to the review published by 'What Hi-Fi?' but this is a solid yet small DAC that offers superb reproduction via headphones. I have found that if at all possible have the unit facing you when in use so that you can see the LED lights as otherwise it is very easy to leave it switched on when not in use and subsequently drain the battery down to zero charge. Recharging does seem quite speedy though.
So smooth, so cultured but viciously powerful!
Brimming with iFi goodness that has a warmth and character reminiscent of vinyl with analogue amplification. I had used a Shanling UP5 as my mobile driver until trying the hip-dac. The UP5 has been retired completely, it seems cold, lifeless and “muddy” in comparison. The hip-dac is so much more detailed without any hint of coldness. Furthermore it has the power to drive high impedance headphones with the control to cope with hyper sensitive iems.
Add in analogue volume and you have a perfect package. Another iFi triumph.
