MITER CASEfor iFi Hip-dac/Hip-dac2/Hip-dac 3 Portable dac, Handmade Italy Artificial PU Leather Case Cover for HipDac 3 (Black)

Fits like a glove. Nice materials, feels premium and looks sharp in black. Seems like the Hip-DAC 3 won't scratch my phone now when I hold them stacked. Covers the IEMatch toggle switch on the Hip-DAC so if you're constantly toggling that, any case might be annoying to you, so zero stars deducted but worth knowing if that's you.

I bought this case when I ordered an iFi hip-dac3 from Amazon. When the case arrived, it came packaged in a nice plastic wrapped elegant-looking box. Inside the box, the case was in a cloth pouch. The case's quality construction is befitting for the solidly built iFi hip-dac3. It really exceeded my expectations. It has a fit snug and rich, solid feel to it.

Do not buy this if you have a Hip Dac 3 as it is too small and once you put your device in it is almost impossible to remove and even if you try you risk damaging your Hip Dac 3.I received my case and put my Hip Dac 3 into it. It looked good and seemed well made. I did notice that it was a tight fit but did not realize at the time just how tight.After I put the dac in I realized I had not switched off the match on the underside of the dac.I then tried to remove the dac and it just wouldn’t come out.I tried pushing from the back near the USB inputs but that didn’t work.I tried gently squeezing the case. Again it was no go.At this point I was sure that is was going to damage my dac trying to get it out of the case.Eventually I got it out by using a hairdryer on the case which softened it up just enough to push the Hip Dac 3 out.I am not sure if I am going to just use it with my Hip Dac 1 (which given the usb-a cutout is what it was really made for) or just send it back.But I can guarantee I will never put my Hip Dac 3 into this or buy another case from the seller.

This is my second Miter case, I also have one from Miter made for my iFi Go Blu. This should fit every generation of hipdac so far, but keep in mind, for the hipdac 3 specifically, the cut outs for accessing certain features don't all match up. There is no direct access to the IE Match switch on the bottom/underside of the unit. You will have to remove the case if you want to switch that feature on or off. The only other minor issue is that the opening for the usb-c female audio input is actually sized to fit the old usb-a male input from prior generations of hipdac. This doesn't impede the opening for the usb-c, it just doesn't match up to the smaller size of that input. The material is soft to the touch, and feels very sturdy, and should provide decent protection from scratching the unit's finish. All-in-all, another winner, I definitely recommend!

This is a perfect fit and gives an upgraded look and feel to the Hip DAC!

Runs and works great. Drives all my headphones with ease in a very nice and compact size. I wish the battery could last for 12 hours, but hey, that’s nitpicking. A much better purchase than all my Audioquest Dragonflies. (Black, Red & Cobalt)

The case is simply too small and the fit too tight to even get the amp in.I got it close to halfway in, and it would have required too much force to even try to get it in all the way. Also, you would NEVER get it out if it were all the way in. Plus, it blocks the gain switch on the bottom of the Hipdac 3.It's getting returned...

Really... what is this devices purpose?I returned it because it did not satisfy me.
