Product details

Portable Hi-Res audio, refined every detail

The hip-dac3 is a compact DAC/amp designed for on-the-go listening, pairing with phones, laptops, or portable players to reveal more detail and nuance in your music. Its Titanium Shadow finish rests on a durable aluminium frame, blending a premium look with travel-ready resilience for daily use and beyond.

True balanced performance and broad format support

  • True balanced circuit minimizes distortion for clean, even dynamics across a wide headphone range.
  • Delivers up to 400 mW into 32 ohms, enabling confident, lively listening at comfortable levels.
  • Hi-res data support includes PCM up to 384 kHz, DSD up to 12.4 MHz, and full MQA decoding where available.

Signal shaping, listening comfort, and headphone matching

  • XBass analog enhancement adds bass presence while preserving mids and highs for a balanced sense of space.
  • PowerMatch optimizes output level for different headphones, while iEMatch helps match impedance for smoother listening.

Design, build, and refined components

  • Updated metal film capacitors and GMT circuitry refine the signal path for clearer reproduction.
  • Dual USB-C ports simplify cable management and allow simultaneous charging when connected to compatible sources.
  • LED indicators provide quick feedback on detected format and sample rate for easy setup.

Practical use, what’s included, and battery life

In the box you’ll find a USB-C OTG cable and a USB-A to USB-C adapter, making it easy to connect with a range of devices. The hip-dac3 typically delivers around 7–10 hours of playback on a full charge from its 2200 mAh battery, supporting longer listening sessions between top-ups.

Real-world scenarios include daily commutes, desk-side listening, and weekend travel, where you may notice more texture, instrument separation, and control without needing an external DAC. This description highlights features you might experience with compatible gear and libraries, without promising specific results for every setup.
