Recently i have bought ifi hip dac. It can’t be turn on after the battery died when i connect to my pc. I have read before it can run on external power on pc without using it battery. But it seem mine keep running with the battery even after have turning it on after connecting it to my pc first. Did i just get defective one? Or am i doing something wrong?

Hello,
In which socket do you have it connected to the Usb port or Usb port type C?

I suppose you have to connect it to the Usb port type C to get it powered again, like a smartphone.


Here is the Manual.
You must be connect it to Usb port Type C and turn the volume Button on , :wink:
Maybe is possible when it charge the Battary you can‘t use it.
You must wait is charge is full for after use.

I plug it on on the usb port. Not the type one
