ifi Audio 0312008 Hip-Dac 3 Portable DAC Headphone Amplifier (0312008)
The ifi Audio 0312008 Hip-Dac 3 is a pocket-sized portable DAC designed to deliver Hi-Res True Native playback with modern USB-C connectivity. It pairs enhanced circuitry with iEMatch for sensitive IEMs to provide cleaner, purer sound on the go, with up to 12 hours of playtime.
High-resolution, bit-perfect playback
A Burr-Brown True Native chipset and 16-core XMOS processing preserve files unchanged for bit-perfect listening across popular formats, including full MQA decoding.
- Hi-Res True Native playback from MP3 to DSD256, PCM384, and DXD384
- Burr-Brown True Native architecture keeps file formats bit-perfect
- Full MQA decoding (three unfold)
Cleaner, lower-noise performance
Internal updates focus on reducing noise and distortion for a purer signal.
- New metal film capacitors for better frequency response
- Updated GMT circuitry with a new crystal oscillator to reduce phase noise
- True balanced circuit design to reduce distortion
- Custom iFi OV op-amp and Texas Instruments power IC
Tailored for your headphones and earphones
Gain, output level, and low-frequency response can be adjusted to suit a wide range of headphones and IEMs.
- PowerMatch switchable gain to tailor power for your headphones
- iEMatch optimizes output for high-sensitivity IEMs, reducing hiss and enhancing detail
- XBass analogue bass correction to compensate for missing bass response
Portable design with all-day playtime
The hip-dac 3 discreetly fits in a pocket or bag and can replace DACs and amplifiers in mobile and desktop devices. A 2,200mAh battery supports extended listening.
- Pocket-friendly, hip-flask form factor with aluminium build
- Up to 12 hours of playtime from the 2,200mAh battery
Flexible connectivity and output power
Modern USB-C input, multiple headphone outputs, and robust balanced power enable easy pairing with both portable and demanding headphones.
- USB-C input supports up to 32-bit/384kHz with asynchronous, jitter-free data transfer
- Headphone outputs: 3.5mm single-ended (S-Balanced) and 4.4mm balanced
- Delivers up to 400mW into 32Ω and 6.3V for high-impedance headphones from the balanced output
