    I have dac 1 and dac 2, dac 1 is forward sounding and vocals is better. Dac 2 is airy and wider soundstage and more transparent. I like both. May buy dac 3 soon but won't sell anyone 😊

    Thank you for the review. I own Hip Dac 2, and didn't find any strong reason to switch to Hip Dac 3 =)) All these adjustments are so minor 😂

    Just ordered for 235$ included tax and shipping. I hope it will suit my Fiio FT5 well. Many other cheaper alternatives. But so many good words about this one.

      Thx, off course I didn’t test all headphones with Hip Dac 3, you should ask yourself self this question, do i need a neutral amplifier for my headphones? If yes than the Hip Dac 3 is not for you, is not neutral but much more neutral compared to Hip Dac 2!

      Never tested the ru7 but what i can tell you is that the EarMen Colibri review is coming in January, so maybe you can wait a little bit.Btw you can't go wrong with the Hip-Dac3, is simply extraordinary!

    I need advice I can either buy hd660s2 and buy this ifi hip dac 3 later or should I go with hd650 and buy this dac/amp now considering the fact that if I go with hd660s2 I gotta go without a dedicated dac/amp for a while.

    • @MadAudiofficial
      @MadAudiofficial  Рік тому

      I will go personally with HD650 plus Hip-Dac3, and when you are ready you can sell the HD650 and upgrade with a better headphones. This will give you time to Experiment first, have fun and appreciate more the HD660S2 later!
