ddHiFi Accessories: DJ65B and XLR44B

ddHiFi is a Chinese audio accessory manufacturer brand that has been in the business since 2017 and has been very successful so far. It is one of the most recognizable accessory brands in the audio realm alongside Viablue, Pentaconn, and Furutech, though ddHifi's products are less expensive than those brands. ddHiFi has also nailed a design language of its own that is a nice mixture of industrial design and steampunk aesthetics. ddHiFi has even made a few dongle DAC Amps and even an IEM (Janus), but my review will focus on two ddHiFi accessories, the ddHiFi DJ655B and ddHiFi XLR44B.

ddHiFi DJ65B

Price: $39.99

There is no shortage of quarter-inch adapters in the market. They are so common that even viral memes referenced their abundance a few years back. The DJ65B is quite expensive compared to run-of-the-mill quarter-inch adapters. Unlike regular quarter-inch adapters with a female 3.5mm port, the DJ65B is intended for 4.4mm balanced cables (65 refers to 6.35mm/quarter inch and B to balanced).

The DJ65B is the most beautiful quarter-inch adapter one can buy, bar none. The whole casing is milled from aluminum, and the faceplate/plaque housing the 4.4mm headphone jack is 24k gold plated. The 4.4 mm jack is exceptionally high quality, and all my 4.4mm cables click in with a satisfying snap. All the internal wire solderings are done via high-purity OCC copper. The DJ65B is an excellent match for DAC amps with similar aesthetics, such as the iFi audio pro iCAN. It is also a great aesthetic match with the Hifiman EF600, which also follows a similar industrial design language.

Sound quality-wise, the DJ65B perfectly does what it should do. It does not add color to the sound coming from the source device. There is minimal internal resistance, and I noticed zero loss in fidelity, dynamics, and sound pressure level while pairing the DJ65B with a few amplifiers. I tried it with a broad range of devices, from the sensitive Campfire audio Ponderosa to the hard-to-drive DITA project M and FATfreq scarlet mini. I noticed nothing odd or new while pairing these IEMs with the ddHiFi DJ65B.

All in all, the DJ65B provides good value. At a very reasonable price of $39, it does not alter the sound for the worse or break the bank. It is a beautiful addition to an average audiophile’s accessory collection.

ddHiFi XLR44

Price: $39.99

The XLR44B, a 4-pin XLR balanced to a 4.4 mm adapter, is a practical solution for users who want to use their 4.4 mm cables with full-sized amplifiers that lack 4.4mm outputs. While Pentaconn 4.4mm connectors are becoming more common in full-sized amplifiers, many legacy brands still prefer XLR output for balanced. The XLR 44B bridges this gap, offering a reliable and efficient solution.

The XLR 4.4B is not a unique product, though. It does not look as fancy as the DJ65B. What distinguishes it from the rest is the absolutely excellent build quality. The CNC’d outer shell shell feels premium when held and has no visible manufacturing imperfections or rough edges. The anodized black paint also looks pretty uniform, and I like the subtle ddHiFi branding; it looks quite classy.

I have used no name XLR to 4.4mm adapters from Aliexpress before, and almost all of them degraded the sound to some degree. XLR44B does not alter or enhance the sound in any way or form and sounds exactly like the raw XLR output. As a 4.4mm aficionado who hates fat XLR terminations with a passion but appreciates their rigidity and old-school charm, the XLR 4.4B is a lifesaver. Another important thing I would like to mention is the gold plating on the XLR pins of this adapter. I have noticed discoloration and oxidation even in high-end interconnect cables. But even after over six months of use, the XLR pins on my XLR44B look as good as new.

Conclusion:

ddHiFi has established itself quite well as an accessories brand. The ddHiFi XLR4.4B and DJ65B are fantastic additions to their arsenal. Unlike some fancier brands, they do not break the bank while retaining the same signature. These are no-brainer additions to every audiophile’s toolbox.
