The only thing with using these type of amps with smartphones is, you gotta make sure you have the proper adapter (USB or Lightning for iPhones, etc.) for that phone. But this hipDAC 2 is apparently designed with those in mind, as well, not just using it with DAPs, etc. It would be nice if they supplied a USB and LIghtning adaptor(s), but they are cheaply obtained now.

Great tip, Scott! It would nonetheless be nice if iFi included iPhone adapters as well.

Oh man your reaction as soon as you start to listen to the music is mind blowing 😆 is this DAC that good? I'm doing some research on it for my first DAC/AMP to drive my DT770 Pro 32ohm. Would you say it's ok for my headset?
@gearupaaron Жыл бұрын
It's definitely able to drive it and wake it up some. And yes, this Hip Dac 2 is fantastic - simple, yet noticeably effective. I'm guessing higher-end cans will need something more powerful, but for most, this is more than sufficient (especially for the price).

@thiscorrosion900 Жыл бұрын
Any very good headphone amp should give you at least some improvement in quality and also power, of course, and clean power, hopefully. From what I hear these can drive almost any headphones, even up to 300 ohm highly inefficient phones or IEMs. I just ordered the hip DAC to upgrade from some Fiio amps I've been using for the past six years; they are both fantastic, (sorry one is the new FosiAudio one) but I'm confident this will be an even bigger upgrade in quality.
@thiscorrosion900 Жыл бұрын
P.S. Another thing I've learned is your results are dependent on the ENTIRE chain: amp, phones, and source(s). You are going to get better results, also, out of a wired rig. BT and wireless is ok, but you're better off going wired if you can. But this will work for phones too, so that's fine.
