The TC44Grip offers a new level of portable audio for those who refuse to compromise on sound quality. As a member of ddHiFi’s third-generation TC44 series, this device is the perfect fusion of premium audio technology and smart user experience.
It is designed specifically for those who want studio-quality sound on the go, whether listening to classical music or modern electronic soundscapes. Furthermore, it functions not only as a DAC and headphone amplifier but uniquely supports simultaneous music playback and device charging.

At the heart of the TC44Grip are dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chips responsible for precise digital-to-analog conversion. These chips deliver crystal-clear, natural, and detailed sound reproduction from sources up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM or native DSD256. This means it can losslessly process most available Hi-Res audio sources.

In the amplifier section, two independent SGM8262-2 operational amplifiers provide ample power for dynamic and high-impedance headphones. Engineers have paid special attention to the gain matching between the DAC and amplifier stages, optimizing tonal balance so listening remains fatigue-free over long sessions while preserving musical detail and naturalness.

An SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) exceeding 125 dB and a distortion level (THD+N) of ≤0.0004% ensure that audio playback is clear, noise-free, and expressive down to the finest nuances.

The TC44Grip’s exterior design also stands out from the crowd. Unlike traditional dongles where the cable dangles separately and disturbingly, here the cable is an integral part of the device housing. The thick, shielded pure silver cable ensures the cleanest possible signal transmission.

A cable channel and curved routing at the bottom of the case ensure the cable always fits securely in place, providing a unified, elegant appearance. The stylish carbon fiber top cover and included leather decorative inserts enhance both the look and the grip — available in black and khaki for personalized use.

One of the biggest innovations is that with the TC44Grip you can charge your phone while listening to music. The device features a dedicated USB-C PD input capable of delivering up to 60 W fast charging, making it not only convenient but fully practical during music playback.
