Best Headphone Dac/Amp

I use this cable to connect dac to headphone amp. Works flawlessly.

For the price this dac/amp is a bargain. I use it to drive my Sony MDR Z1R headphone and my Sennheiser IE 900 IEM. Wired connection sounds better than the bluetooth connection but all the features this product offers makes this a must have. Just buy it you will be happy. This is audiophile bargain

Splitting XLR from computer DAC (Schiit Gungnir) to headphone integrated amp receiver (Schiit Ragnarok) and to TV entertainment center processor (Emotiva XMC-1). Does the job with 0 noise or issues. Clean signal to both. Works!!!

Excellent quality, using for connection between balanced DAC and balanced headphone amp. Will buy more of these when needed.

I power an Electro-Voice RE 11 with mine which isn't the easiest dynamic mic to drive and requires quite a bit of power. The Motu M2 does great with no added noise that I can detect, extremely clean output. But I mean you could get cheaper interfaces and get most of the way there, but the real benefit of this device over the competition is in the DAC and headphone amp. They sound absolutely amazing! The headphone amp is extremely powerful being able to drive anything I've thrown at it, and connecting the rca outputs into my small onkyo amp which is driving my NHT bookshelf speakers has already replaced my old DAC. I think for the person starting from square one with not only producing audio but consuming it should be absolutely looking at this interface.

I will say I do really enjoy this headphone. Even with my cheaper amp/dac. (fx audio dac x6 is what is being used here.) Even though I can tell with a better one I would get more out of the headphone. It is on the warmer end but still fairly v shaped. Though for me the mids still were clear. Basically how I describe it balance wise bass is 15, treble is 12, and mids are 10. Still has what I call the planar separation so it didn't lose that planar sound. Though still I would recommend if you want to get the most out of this headphone you want a decent dac/amp.

The iFi hip-dac 3 is an exceptional portable DAC/amp that delivers a warm, rich sound profile perfect for audiophiles on the go. Its ability to produce a full-bodied sound with deep, impactful bass and smooth mids makes it a standout choice for those who appreciate a lush, immersive listening experience. The warm tonal quality enhances vocals and instruments, giving them a natural and engaging presence that draws you into the music. One of the hip-dac 3's most impressive features is its powerful amplification. Despite its compact size, this device can drive demanding headphones with ease, delivering loud, distortion-free audio that remains clear and dynamic even at higher volumes. Whether you're using high-impedance headphones or sensitive in-ear monitors, the hip-dac 3 ensures you get the best possible performance.

Really nice portable dac/amp with some nice features.

Best Ive ever owned... If you get a set, get a DAC along with them... makes them even better.

Best value in a quality headphone.
