Our much-loved, original hip-dac has changed! The portable, high-resolution DAC/headphone amplifier looks stunning in its new vibrant Sunset Orange. Not only has the hip-dac2's super-sleek aluminum case been refreshed, but its internals have also been improved. The new 16-core XMOS chip, which processes data via USB, offers double the clock speed and quadruple the memory. This enhances overall performance and adds full MQA decoding to the hip-dac2's skill set. There is also an upgraded crystal clock that contributes to a cleaner sound. So, whether you're working at your favorite café or relaxing on your daily commute, you'll definitely want to take the hip-dac2 with you wherever you go.
