    As an Spanish speaker, I loved the uno pun. 😂 Now, about the gadget, I have been looking to get an ifi product for so long, cheaper than the Hip Dac 2. This is my moment.

    just keep in mind that you give 30$ free for iFi, cause the EQ mode is gimmick, music mode is the same as no EQ mode, and the sound distort after half of level in the knob. it means in my opinion this should be 49$ not 79$.

    for iem exclusively, do you hear noticeable sound differences between uno, hip and zen or are they really close for iem that do not require a lot of power ? thanks

    • @AndysTechTone
      @AndysTechTone  Рік тому +2

      If there is a difference that comes from the different sound signatures of the DACs and not from the differences in power output. Any of these can drive your IEMs well

    Decent product but most definitely not worth it, bought their hip dac 2 and six months later their usb cable started to malfunction and here the kicker..their 'technical support" is non existent, about 7 emails later directly through their website (only way to reach their "support") still getting some robot named jesse to no conclusion, its just a usb cable! Just ship the dam thing! You have my address! Jesus crocks!

    Hello friend, I have an ifi uno, the LED does not change when playing on a computer or tablet. The green light is always on. What should I do? The firmware is the latest.
