I got my hip Dac 3 about a month ago and it’s fantastic. I have a ifi go blu for commute / mobile use and the hip Dac 3 for use at my office desk or at a park / coffee shop. I’ve used a dozen iems and a half dozen headphones with great degrees of success this far. The only thing I wish that the hip Dac 3 has was a more neutral X bass and an x space option like the go blu has. The xbass is +10 db to sub range where go blu is + 3db. Go blu has has x space function which elevates treble and you can activate both xbass and xspace simultaneously.
yep it's a good dac amp unfortunately without Bluetooth is just a desktop dac amp with battery and IFI dacs have Insanely high noise floor i wonder if they managed to fix atleast that in this version but i doubt it
I have DT 1770 in my collection and I had no problems driving it to my preferred levels of volume. Just keep in mind that hip dac 3 is designed as a portable unit. In desktop scenario it's still running off battery.
WHAT A REVIEW! Fantastic! Covered all features, buttons, setups, recommendations. So informative!
Glad that you liked it!

What do you think about the kensei?
Haven't tested it yet

@LyuboA This version, hip dac 3 has the iEMatch and with it there is no noise floor at all even with the most sensitive IEMs.
Would this amp power up my DT 1770 pro 250ohms on my PC?

@@kinemosstech What would you recommend from iFi that's good for desktop with 1770 pros?
Sounds like a read of the spec sheet and press release. Bye
Yes, you can always refer to the spec sheet if your need additional information.
