iFi hip-dac 3 vs hip-dac 2 Review - Worth the upgrade?

Музыка

🔴 FOR MORE INFO ⬇️
The third generation of the iFi hip-dac is coming now in the new Titanium Shadow elegant finisch, two USB-C ports one for audio and the other for charging and a switch on the underside to activates iFi’s iEMatch technology, which is optimized for high-sensitivity headphones and earphones, making it especially beneficial for your in-ear monitors (IEMs).
Inside, the device boasts circuit enhancements, including new metal film capacitors for a better frequency response, an updated version of iFi’s GMT circuitry, coupled with a new crystal oscillator, further reduces phase noise.

    Thank you for the review. I own Hip Dac 2, and didn't find any strong reason to switch to Hip Dac 3 =)) All these adjustments are so minor 😂

    Thx, off course I didn’t test all headphones with Hip Dac 3, you should ask yourself self this question, do i need a neutral amplifier for my headphones? If yes than the Hip Dac 3 is not for you, is not neutral but much more neutral compared to Hip Dac 2!

    I need advice I can either buy hd660s2 and buy this ifi hip dac 3 later or should I go with hd650 and buy this dac/amp now considering the fact that if I go with hd660s2 I gotta go without a dedicated dac/amp for a while.

    I will go personally with HD650 plus Hip-Dac3, and when you are ready you can sell the HD650 and upgrade with a better headphones. This will give you time to Experiment first, have fun and appreciate more the HD660S2 later!
