iFi audio hip-dac 2: just the tonic for headphone fans
Feb 20, 2023 at 8:35 AM Post #301 of 314
Any plans for a new portable dac/amp to replace signature and the red one?
And none of the MQA stuff or I and my wallet will stay clear. The HipDac2 was pretty cool and looked great too but easily resisted due to the BS of MQA.

"The science behind MQA"...LOL! I'll tell what is behind MQA, a bitter idiot that wanted control of any and all music. FTN.

Mqa is not bad at all for mobile use.
Ifi in particular has managed to enjoy it with the Hip 2 and have zero loss of quality.

Otherwise on the stereo or headphones is nice but I don't have to have it every day.


I'm curious to see what the Ifi hip dac 3 will bring.
Hopefully a lcd panel and wifi compatible hehe.

I just noticed the Xbass description on the HipDac2 webpage...

"XBass is an analogue headphone spatialiser. It opens up your music to give you the feeling of spaciousness experienced at a live concert"

According to the manual - "XBass is an analogue circuit designed to 'add back' the lost bass response for a more accurate reproduction of the original music."

Is XBass is trying to be XSpace?

OK, we may have a typo :)

Thanks for flagging!

Hello iFI Audio. Do you guys offer/ sake rubber bands for stacks?

Hi there!

As far as I know some our products feature rubber bands, but I'm pretty sure that we don't offer these as standalone products. I'll check that though just to make sure and thanks for asking!

Sharing a customer's thoughts!

This is what Mark Williams, from Florida, USA had to say about his hip-dac2 purchase!

"I'm excited for my first audiophile-grade DAC. I bought a 4.4mm balanced cable for my AKG
K240s just for this. I do have to wait for my Pixel 6 Pro to get an update to support TIDAL MQA
but it's amazing with my PC so far!"

Get Yours!

Cheers!!

More customer thoughts and observations...

This is what Robert French from Tyne & Wear, UK, thought of his hip-dac2

"Very impressive product with a beautiful build quality. Produces outstanding sound. Being a mobile phone/laptop listener, portability and compact design is very important for myself, this device ticks all the boxes. This is an easy recommendation to friends."

Thanks Robert!!

Cheers!!
