Would you recommend the ifi hip dac 3 over the AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt?? Great review btw!

@ryanhostudio 8 месяцев назад

i never tried the cobalt before but there kind of different, the hip dac 3 has built in battery, balanced 4.4 port, ie match, bass boost, and modern usb c port that cobalt doesn’t have

@Muryohken Месяц назад

Recently got the second model, very impressive device, might get upgraded model down the line.

@ryanhostudio Месяц назад

yeah some few upgrades

@heeku_ 7 месяцев назад

how well does it drive the mr? i wonder cuz ive been told to get the questyle m15 and with the diana v2 its awful. not enough power and sounds underwhelming.

@ryanhostudio 7 месяцев назад

it does drive the mr. but desktop dac/amps will sound bettee

@mimimmo 3 месяца назад

Hi, do you think that this worth 100€ extra against the mk2? I ve found this last used for about 100€ and sometimes i need a bit more power for the sennheiser hd600 that the shanling up4 22 can't offer

@ryanhostudio 3 месяца назад

if you dont need any of the additional features the mk2 is fine

I’m using Fiio Q1 mark II . Is it a good upgrade to hip DAC 3? ( I mostly use with my iPhone)

@ryanhostudio 7 месяцев назад

dont know never tried the fiio Q1 Mark ii

@wahid-lg1kk 2 месяца назад

Ya it is, or go for the new Q3 with mqa, if you use it, nice akm dacs, smaller size.. More ergonomic, strap to your phone, but the sound of the Burr brown dacs in this machine are also something special.

@wahid-lg1kk 2 месяца назад

IE matching.. Is it just a gain switch, or do they use the algorithm on the dac chip that matches the impedence vs power demand curve, to power output? Well it works something like that.. I have it on my dongle, no gain switch, but it matches on its own. One question, why are you comparing it to such a wimpy dongle? It's, I don't know, a 30 or 40 dollar dongle? Should at least compare it to a balanced one, with 400 or 500mw output, to be fair?

@ryanhostudio 2 месяца назад

i believe it’s alters impedance and makes it higher, which in turn reduces the power output. people have measured the change. I only compared it with what i have at the time, i don’t swim in gear xD. admittedly i do have more stuff NOW but back than this is all i had

Anyone here willing to throw in their opinion on the SQ of Hip3 vs Qudelix 5k? Obviously 5K has the EQ...

@danieleturrin5625 8 месяцев назад

How can it drive HE6 if even people with 2-3 Watts amps on 32 ohm claim it is not enough? For sure you won't be able to EQ. I'm barely able to do it with my Fiio K11 (650mW) with my DT880 600 ohm...

@ryanhostudio 8 месяцев назад

depends on how loud you listen and your source volume. For example I noticed that apple music sounds much louder than compared to spotify/youtube out of my phone. What people "claim" doesnt really matter, you can calculate how much you need using a headphone calculator. I have also tested this and listened to it in person....if you listen to people on headfi you will need a speaker amplifier to run the he6, followed by "why did my driver blow out?" :] headphones.com/pages/headphones-power-calculator

@ryanhostudio 8 месяцев назад

also i have the ifi pro ican that puts out 14 watts so its not like i dont know what it sounds like high powered lol

@danieleturrin5625 8 месяцев назад

@@ryanhostudio sure, I didn't want to result skeptical in a bad way. It was just your claim that was in big contrast with what is commonly shared about this headphone.

@ryanhostudio 8 месяцев назад

personally i think what people are looking for he-6 is a dynamic bass, but they also have to realize, it’s still flat bass. So they upgrade/search for better amps that can give it more dynamic impact they are looking for, or ultimately find amps that sound darker and turn up volume louder to compensate

I'm about to make a tough decision. hipdac 3 or cayin ru7?

i haven’t tried the cayin b4

@tirthadipde5162 4 месяца назад

Cayin Ru7 is more clinical sonding, Hip Dac is more musical. Depends on your preference and gear

Looking for a portable dac for my hd600. Currently considering hip dac 3, btr7 or shanling h5/7. Any suggestions?

@ryanhostudio 7 месяцев назад

ive only tried hip dac 3, so not sure about the others. They seem to have different features so pick ones you need the most?

@amansirpal353 7 месяцев назад

Which one did you go for, I went with the BTR7 but found the treble to be a bit over the top. Very glarey highs

@@amansirpal353 I bought shanling h7 in the end and quite liked it. But never tried btr7 though

@Swanijxg-gc thanks for the quick reply. Still deciding which one to go for as will be selling the btr7 now.

@belphegor_dev 6 месяцев назад

Does this provide more power than the previous hip dac?

@ryanhostudio 6 месяцев назад

no i think its exactly the same output

@LyuboA 6 месяцев назад

if they only added Bluetooth to this dac amp then it would be a must have best on the market but against BTR7 and now BTR15 it really doesn't make much sense if you want to use it with IEMs

@ryanhostudio 6 месяцев назад

ifi does have a smaller bluetooth dac amp more similar to btr7

@LyuboA 6 месяцев назад

@@ryanhostudio i know and it's complete shit the floor noise is huge and the Bluetooth connection is so bad plus it's not similar to BTR7 they may be similar in size but BTR7 has much more power and very clean power but if IFI only adds Bluetooth to Hip dac that would really be something special why they don't want to do that is beyond me just missed opportunity and they missed 3 times by now

@stefi7318 8 месяцев назад

is there any channel imbalance at low volume?

@ryanhostudio 8 месяцев назад

there is, but thats where they solved that issue with extremely sensitive iem by adding IE match so you will be way beyond the channel imbalance while having great volume control. I tested the kiwi ears quartet on it and didnt even need to use IE match to get past it

I have this amp and sound quality is mind blowing with Hifiman sx edition. But you didn’t show how uncomfortable to use this device with phone. you can’t put it in pocket and move around same time. you need sit down one place when listening.

@user-st8xu9qk5n 6 месяцев назад

Look at the size, one can easily see its not pocketable.

@wahid-lg1kk 2 месяца назад

Ya it looks a little wide, I want to get it, but my fiio q3 is so perfect ergonomically, I only use IEMs anyway, the Q3 straps to my phone, the whole thing goes in a pocket.

@theonlyegg 2 месяца назад

Use a 2 foot usb cable and keep the dac in a back pocket. I do it sometimes with a different dongle dac.
