As i would like to save the battery for a long time, i asked for other options. So, i used the adapter of a Google Pixel 4a, charged in the manual mentioned three hrs.

I just took a look at chargers that come with Samsung A5. They're rated 5V/2A, which shouldn't be a problem. Does it work as intended with other devices?

 

[corgifall]

The ones with sleeve from ifi wouldn´t fit?


@all:
How do you charge your hip-dac?

I found this in the manual:
Charging via USB-C
BC V1.2 compliant up to 1000mA

Charging via Samsung Galaxy A5 OEM Adapter won´t work for me. I charged on PC in the past.
Is the 18W Google Pixel 4a to powerful or not necessary to think about?

Thank you

I just charge it off my 18W apple charger. It's not dead yet.

It's not dead yet.

I like that part

I dig my hip-dac. A terrific, powerful unit. But one feature suggestion for the hip-dac 2: An audible beep or some other alert built into the circuitry to warn of low battery, perhaps below 10 percent.

I know the hip-dac has a light that indicates power level, but it's tiny. It would be cool to get a head's up on when this little marvel is about to run out of juice instead of the music just going silent.

First-world problem, I know ...

Anyone knows If there are sonic differences between the hip dac 3.5mm out and the Ifi Signature?(despite the power difference they have)

When the Hip Dac is attached to my iphone 11 Pro, in Tidal sometimes songs will stop playing for a second within the first 30 seconds. It doesn't happen all the time, but about every few songs. Any idea what that is?

I'll pass on this to our R&D, thanks!

There are folks who have both, so someone should chime in here shortly and address your question.

I hope someone answers..

All I can say is that our iDSD Signature is noticeably better than hip-dac, but that's nothing unexpected considering their different prices

What DAC chip hip dac has and what DAC chip signature has?

What DAC chip hip dac has and what DAC chip signature has?

We use Burr-Browns and all our DACs sound natural, slightly warm and not harsh. It's fair to say that this is our house sound

I know you use Burr-Browns. Can I know which Burr-Brown model is in hip dac and which in signature?

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of a way to get the hip dac to receive a Bluetooth signal? I’d like to use the hip dac to watch tv over Bluetooth sometimes but I wouldn’t use it enough to warrant buying an xDSD.

I’m thinking it could work by buying a usb Bluetooth 5.0 receiver and a relevant cable to attach it to the hip dac such as a female usb to female usb cable? Has anyone tried this or know if it could work?

The Hip-Dac uses the Burr-Brown DSD1793
like the iDSD Black Label/ xDSD, maybe a "bit" custom/ different cause of FPGA.

The Zen DAC Signature uses the Burr-Brown Multi-Bit DSD1793 too, when the specs are right via the Internet.

But you also have to have an eye to the combined components in the PCB layout itself, not only the used DAC.

Here:

Or google for Texas Instruments aso..

Hope that helps and the info's are right.
Only ifi knows this for sure.

It's DSD1793, but I wouldn't pay too much attention to a DAC chip itself
