iFi Audio hip-dac User Manual
1. Power Match® (on/off )
Power Match® enables hip-dac to match headphones’ impedance and sensitivity in order to generate their highest operational efficiency.
Tip: For in-ear-monitors (earbuds) try Power Match® off. For headphones try Power Match® on.
2. XBass® (on/off)
Many headphones lack the correct bass response. XBass® is an analogue circuit designed to ‘add back’ the lost bass response for a
more accurate reproduction of the original music.
3. Audio Format LED (kHz)
The LED colour scheme indicates the audio format and sampling frequency received by hip-dac from the music source.

4. ON/OFF and Analogue Volume Control

Warning: Due to the high power of hip-dac, always start off at a low volume level so that there is no risk of damage to your headphones
and your hearing. iFi audio is not
responsible for any hearing or equipment damage from misuse.
Tip: hip-dac will continue to use battery power even if the USB cable is connected afterwards.
Tip: For connection to Apple devices, Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter is required. For connection to Android devices,
USB On-The-Go (OTG) cable and appropriate OS support are required.
