ddHiFi M198C USB-C DAC IEM Cable | 2-Pin / MMCX
The ddHiFi M198C is a USB-C DAC IEM Cable, Adopting a More Hi-Fi Focused Tuning Over its Predecessors in the Memory Series
- Features independent DAC and amplification
- High-performance CS43198 DAC chip
- HiFi focused sound signature
- 32bit/384kHz PCM decoding capability
- In-line controls for calls, recording, music play/pause
Memory Series HiFi Tuning
Compared to the M110C from the same Memory series, the M198C adopts a more HiFi-focused sound signature, prioritizing high-fidelity audio reproduction. The conductor composition of the cable and the DSP settings of the USB decoding plug interact to deliver a quiet background and a balanced listening experience.
High-Performance DAC
Featuring the CS43198 DAC chip paired with a high-performance USB audio bridge chip, the M198C supports decoding up to PCM 384kHz/32bit and DSD256. The integrated USB audio bridge chip incorporates a high-performance DSP/ADC/PGA, enabling microphone recording and inline remote control functionality.
CNC-Machined Aluminum Hardware
The plug, splitter and earphones connectors of the decoding cable are all housed in CNC-machined aluminum alloy shells, enhancing overall durability and stability. Every detail is crafted for refined appreciation.
Custom OCC Upgrade Cable
The M198C's cable benefits from the technology of the Nyx Net earphones upgrade cable, using high-purity 5N OCC as the signal conductor. The outer nylon braiding is thick yet soft, offering both premium audio cable performance and excellent portability.
In-Line Microphone Function
The in-line microphone integrated into the splitter features independent wiring for left and right channel transmission. It uses a separate shielded OCC cable to connect from the in-line control board to the decoding plug, ensuring no wire splitting or shared signal ground loops, resulting in excellent shielding and anti-interference capabilities.
The internal PCB of the in-line controller employs a high-performance silicon microphone, making it ideal for calls, gaming, live streaming, and more.
