iFi Audio Takes On Bad Sound with New Portable DAC
U.K.-based iFi Audio is taking on bad sound with a svelte yet sophisticated digital-to-analog converter (DAC)/headphone amp that replaces the inferior DACs and amplifiers found in most smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Slated to ship in February for $149, the new hip-dac is only a half-inch thick, making it easy to conceal in a pocket, and built around Burr-Brown’s True Native chipset, which supports PCM/DXD sampling rates up to 384 kHz and DSD playback from 2.8MHz to 12.4MHz.
