ddHiFi TC44Grip DAC Dongle with PD | USB-C

Building on the ddHiFi TC44 Series, the Grip Ditches the 'Dangling Dongle' Design With a Sleek, Attachable Form That Integrates Seamlessly With Your Phone

• Grip-style hi-res DAC and amp with PD
• Powered by dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chips
• Included attraction pad attaches securely on your phone
• USB-C charging up to PD 60W
• 3.5mm SE + 4.4mm BAL outputs

Internal Architecture of Grip

Based on the third-generation of the ddHiFi TC44 series, the Grip utilizes dual CS43198 DAC chips to redefine audio experiences with multidimensional technical advantages. The amplifier section employs dual SGM8262-2 independent op-amps. Special tuning control has been applied to the amplitude stacking of the DAC and amp to ensure a fatigue-free listening session.

Additionally, the Grip is equipped with high-efficiency power and charging management chips, giving the Grip an unprecedented sound quality in the TC44 lineup. 

External Connection of Grip

The Grip breaks away from the traditional 'dangling dongle' concept by integrating a thick shielded pure silver cable into its main body. At the back of the housing, a dedicated cable groove allows the cable to easily slide forward and backward during plugging and unplugging. A wide radius curve at the base of the body results in a unified, streamlined aesthetic.

Listen While Charging

Connecting to Earphones
Your phone will automatically detect and switch to headphone output mode, allowing you to connect either 3.5mm or 4.4mm earphones for immediate use. When using 3.5mm earphones with a built-in microphone and remote control functions, you'll be able to control music playback and make calls directly through the inline controls.

Charging Your Phone
The TC44Grip conveniently supports music playback while charging your phone. Connect a PD-compatible power supply to the USB-C charging port for up to 60W fast charging.

*Actual charging power depends on the playback device's PD protocol compatibility and the connected power supply. Real-world testing shows: iPhone 16 Pro - 25W max, Android smartphones - 10-30W range, and tablets/laptops - up to 60W max.

Decorative Pad and Attraction Pad

For enhanced comfort and grip, attach the included decorative pad to the carbon fiber surface of the TC44Grip. The package contains two color options: black and khaki. Simply choose your preferred style and secure it in place.

The included aluminum alloy attraction pad contains a strong magnet with powerful attraction, ideal for prolonged and intensive daily use. The leather attraction pads contain an embedded ferromagnetic plate with moderate strength, suitable for occasional use.
