The ddHiFi TC44GRIP is a portable USB-C DAC/headphone amplifier designed to enhance the audio quality of compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers. Based on an architecture featuring two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs and two SGM8262-2 operational amplifiers, it supports PCM streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz as well as native DSD256. It features a 3.5mm single-ended headphone output delivering up to 80mW into 32Ω (1.7Vrms) and a 4.4mm balanced output providing up to 330mW into 32Ω (3.3Vrms), with a signal-to-noise ratio of ≥125dB, a dynamic range of ≥125dB, and total harmonic distortion of ≤0.0004%. Its USB-C Power Delivery connector allows the connected smartphone to be charged simultaneously at up to 60W while listening. A shielded pure silver USB-C cable, its ergonomic "Grip" design that attaches to the back of the phone using the included magnetic plates, and two decorative pads (black and khaki) complete a package designed for portable audiophile use.
The TC44GRIP combines two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs with two independent SGM8262-2 amplifiers to provide high-resolution decoding and powerful amplification with exceptionally low noise and distortion. Compatible with PCM 32bit 768kHz and native DSD64 / DSD128 / DSD256, it delivers a precise and detailed audio signal suitable for both in-ear monitors and more demanding headphones thanks to its balanced 4.4mm output delivering 330mW into 32Ω.


Thanks to its USB-C Power Delivery port, the TC44GRIP allows you to enjoy your music while charging the connected device. Compatible with Power Delivery chargers up to 60W, it prevents interruptions during extended listening or gaming sessions. Actual charging power naturally depends on the capabilities of both the connected device and the charger.
Unlike conventional USB DACs that hang from the cable, the TC44GRIP adopts a "Grip" form factor that attaches directly to the back of a smartphone using the supplied magnetic plates. Its shielded pure silver USB-C cable is integrated into the enclosure and slides into a specially designed groove to reduce mechanical stress during connection and disconnection. Two decorative pads also improve grip while allowing you to personalize its appearance.
