For Audiophiles On-the-Go
Works Great with Type-C
Headphone Zone Collaborates with ddHiFi to create a Hi-Res DAC
Specially created for the audiophiles of India, this is a hi-res USB dongle DAC that has been 1 year in the making with ddHiFi. The goal was to create an affordable DAC under Rs. 2000 specifically for India’s audiophile community and Headphone Zone reached out to ddHiFi to undertake this very ambitious project.
Turn Your Smartphone into a Hi-Res Audio Player
Most smartphones come with an in-built DAC that either sound terrible or are simply not capable of playing high resolution music. The Headphone Zone X ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC is a simple plug-and-play device that transforms any smartphone into a high resolution audio player, bypassing the in-built DAC. For smartphones with a USB C output, the device works straight out of the box. For iPhones with a lightning port, a Type-C to lightning adaptor would be needed, like the Hidizs LT-03. If you're someone who's just starting your audiophile journey, this is now the easiest way for you to start listening to high resolution music.
For us to be able to put the Headphone Zone brand name on any product means that we stand by the sound quality & performance. I firmly believe that an affordable Hi-Res dongle DAC is exactly what India's audiophiles need at this point of time.
The Headphone Zone X ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC pairs with virtually all the in-ear monitors out there and some full-size headphones. The 3.5mm headphone output is compatible with any IEM that comes with a 3.5mm jack. The high-resolution dongle DAC brings out the best in music no matter what IEM you decide to use with it. Whether it’s a KZ or a Moondrop or a 7HZ IEM, this is the DAC to pair with.
At the heart of the Headphone Zone X ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC is the formidable CX31993 DAC chip, that effortlessly decodes PCM signals up to 32Bit/384kHz. So whether you’re streaming music in Hi-Res from Apple, or listening to FLAC files in the highest resolution, you can immerse yourself in your favourite music with unparalleled quality.
With a dazzling 65mW of output power, IEMs come to life and it can comfortably power even headphones up to 80 Ohms. The dongle utilizes an independent amplification stage with a MAX97220 chip. Taking it a step further, the Headphone Zone X ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC has an SNR rating of 105db. This ensures a noise free listening experience even with sensitive IEMs.
In addition to your smartphone, Headphone Zone X ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC includes a USB-C to USB-A adapter to enable usage with a laptop for a desktop setup.
Thanks to the mic passthrough feature, audiophiles need not switch between calls and music listening. This dongle DAC allows for a hassle-free listening and calling experience on Android smartphones as it comes equipped with a 4-pole 3.5mm output that supports an in-line remote and microphone. NOTE: Mic pass-through is not supported on iOS devices.
