Top-shelf sound from a flask-shaped portable DAC This is the third generation of iFi Audio's popular pocket-sized — and powerful — headphone amp/DAC combo. This time around, iFi changed to a USB-C port, updated the internal digital circuitry, and added a striking titanium finish. (Sound familiar, Apple fans and iPhone users?) Other than that, the iFi hip-dac3 keeps much of what made the previous two my choices for " best battery-powered portable headphone amp" of the year. It features the same charming flask-shaped design, connects to your phone or laptop, and serves up dynamic, detailed sound for your headphones or IEMs. New connections and performance upgrades There are now two USB-C ports on the back panel, one for charging and one for connecting your device. iFi includes a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB Type A to USB-C cable for connecting to a PC. The chassis is still heavy-duty aluminum, but it has a titanium look to complement the latest iPhone models. Inside, iFi's in-house development team purpose-built a 16-bit XMOS microcontroller/processor. It's designed to work in harmony with the high-grade Burr-Brown digital-to-analog converter chip for lower latency and faster clock speed. There's also a new low-jitter clock to keep the distortion and jitter as low as possible. Makes all your digital music sound better The Burr-Brown DAC chip can squeeze out more musical detail from Spotify®, Apple Music®, Qobuz, YouTube, and other digital audio sources. This DAC will decode high-resolution music files up to 32-bit/384Hz resolution, and DSD files up to 12.2 MHz. It can even fully decode MQA, meaning it completes all three file "unfolds" required for optimum sound A note about charging The hip-dac3 has a built-in rechargeable battery that offers 12 hours of music listening on a full charge, depending on how you use it. This amp runs completely on battery, and must be recharged via the USB-C charging port. You'll want to ensure it is charged up when you take it out and about.
