iFi Audio Hip-Dac 2 (Gold Edition)

Balanced enjoyment

If your headphones are equipped with balanced headphone cables fitted with a 4.4mm Pentaconn jack, with this iFi hip-dac2 gold you'll get the best sound quality out of your premium headphones. If your headphones only come with a single-ended headphone cable and a 3.5mm headphone jack, thanks to the S-Balanced technology you can still take full advantage of the low distortion and high sound quality of the fully balanced hip-dac2 circuitry.

Way hipper-dac

No matter which headphones you intend to use with this golden hip-dac2. PowerMatch lets you switch the gain so that virtually any headphone performs perfectly. XBass provides a slight bass-boost to ensure well-balanced sound quality while using open-back headphones and less-boost when using highly sensitive in-ear monitors. For outside use, iFi Audio has equipped the hip-dac2 gold with a powerful battery that provides up to 8 hours of ultimate listening pleasure.

Bit perfect, just like the original

The Burr-Brown DSD/DXD DAC that iFi applied can handle bit-perfect resolutions up to 32bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD256, just like its predecessor. Thanks to a powerful16-core XMOS chip, the hip-dac2 gold is now also a full-fledged MQA decoder. This enables you the best possible studio experience while enjoying the Tidal Master collection on the go. In this 2nd generation hip-dac, iFi has implemented an improved and jitter-shy GMT Femto precision clock that provides an even more vivid and sound quality than before. If you are looking for a DAC headphone amplifier that can really do it all and allows you to enjoy your favorite music in studio quality wherever you are, then this iFi hip-dac2 gold would be your perfect choice.
