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.

Customers praised this Hi-Res DAC as "bang for the buck" with excellent value. It significantly enhances audio quality and works well with IEMs and laptops, though it struggles with high-impedance headphones. The build quality is solid, and the unboxed units appear brand new. Some noted performance varies by device, with mixed phone results.
- This small piece called DAC could transform sound so much! A must have for all audiophiles
- It blew my mind right out of the box. Build quality is too good, totally worth the money
- If you want to hear music like a live performance, the hi-res DAC is that one piece of hardware
Though it struggles to power high impedance headphones, it's sufficient for IEMs. Sound quality is good enough for the price.

Hi raghav,
Hope you are doing well
The dac is great with the laptop. I use kz castor pro iem and with the laptop vocals great, but with my phone it's not great below average and my phone is google pixel 6a
I ad an issue with my Pixel9a that, with the normal type c connector earphones, I was not getting sound on the first try. I had to remove and plug in the earphones twice to have them working.
With the dac, the problem is resolved.
