Hey, hey, hey , it's time for an iFi tour. New releases give us great excuses to get units out to you good people!

The guideline for the hip-dac tour is fairly similar to previous tours, but there are a few changes to some we have done before so be sure to check out the entire post!

Am I eligible for the tour?

We love to share the iFi love around as much as we can, so we’ll be trying our best to accommodate as many people as we can. So, we encourage you to sign up if you have an interest in the new hip-dac regardless of where you are in your HiFi journey.

We’ll eventually be dividing up the tour groups into geographical regions as we see fit. Unfortunately, if a particular region has a low interest in touring the unit, we may not be able to accommodate those that are interested there. So, be sure to tell your friends to sign up too!

How do I sign up?

Simply fill out the sign-up sheet below and you'll be golden.

THE TOUR SHEET

Please note that the deadline for the sign-up process is 1/3/2020, and the individuals selected will be announced and contacted thereafter.

The rules:

1) Each Head-Fier will be given seven days to spend with the unit.

2) After the given amount of time has passed, each Head-Fier is responsible for safely packing the unit, shipping the unit to the next Head-Fier, and covering the shipping costs.

3) Each Head-Fier will be required to post a review of the hip-dac within 1 week of shipping the unit off to the next Head-Fier on the hip-dac product page HERE

4) Otherwise, the most important thing is to kick back, have fun, and enjoy some of your favorite tunes through the hip-dac and try out all the features we’ve packed into it! We hope you love it as much as we do!


We’ll be giving away the tour hip-dac unit to one lucky winner from each geographical area of the tour.

Your ticket to win is simply a link to your review and proof that you’ve put effort and real thought into it. We’re not expecting an essay (you’ve done enough of that in high school I’m sure), but a few simple sentences that that doesn’t express your thoughts on the product doesn’t exactly fly either.

To keep things fair for everyone, the drawing for the winners are completely random. That means we’re not playing favorites here in order to prevent reviewers from being biased in hopes of winning! Honest reviews are what we like the most. Again though, a poor review (in terms of quality) will disqualify the individual from winning the prize.

Good luck!

Well if you’re sending it around China, I’m in Shanghai and would be more than happy to treat my ears. I previously had both the xDSD and xCAN (although don’t have them with me for direct comparison).

I would love the opportunity! We have a small but very passionate Head-Fi community here in South Africa and we never get the chance to be included.
Let's maybe change that up a bit this time..? :pray:

Please fill the form and let's see. If we can include you, we will!

May I ask why you would expect people to cover the onward shipping costs of a tour model? They are going to be giving up their spare time and giving your product free marketing, also the turnaround time will be extremely restrictive for those out there who work full time. I believe, as a gesture of goodwill, you should be offering to reimburse the postage costs provided you are sent a photo of the receipt. This should now be an industry standard, headfiers do a lot for you. It's been a bone of contention with me for years. The costs involved are nothing compared to the units you will be sending out to professional review sites. Please reconsider your stance on this, I speak not as an interested party but on behalf of all the people on this page who have expressed an interest in your tour.
