3.4 Using PowerMatch and XBass

The PowerMatch and XBass functions can be toggled on or off by pressing their respective buttons. Experiment with these features to find the optimal sound for your headphones and music.

PowerMatch: Use this feature to adjust the gain. For sensitive In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) or efficient headphones, you might prefer PowerMatch off. For less sensitive or high-impedance headphones, activating PowerMatch will provide more power.

5. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

If you encounter issues with your Hip-dac2 Gold Edition, refer to the following common solutions:

പ്രശ്നം	സാധ്യമായ കാരണം / പരിഹാരം
ഹെഡ്‌ഫോണുകളിൽ നിന്ന് ശബ്ദമില്ല.	Ensure the Hip-dac2 is powered on. Check headphone connection to the correct output (3.5mm or 4.4mm). Verify volume knob is turned up. Ensure the source device is playing audio and its volume is not muted or too low. Check USB connection between Hip-dac2 and source device. For Windows, ensure iFi drivers are installed and the Hip-dac2 is selected as the default audio output device.
ഉപകരണം ചാർജ് ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല.	Ensure the charging cable is connected to the dedicated USB-C charging port (5V only), not the USB input port. Try a different USB power source or cable. Ensure the power source provides sufficient current (e.g., a wall adapter, not just a low-power USB port).
Intermittent audio or static.	എല്ലാ കേബിൾ കണക്ഷനുകളിലും അയവ് ഉണ്ടോ എന്ന് പരിശോധിക്കുക. കേബിളുകൾക്ക് കേടുപാടുകൾ സംഭവിച്ചിട്ടില്ലെന്ന് ഉറപ്പാക്കുക. മറ്റൊരു USB കേബിൾ പരീക്ഷിക്കുക. Ensure no other applications are interfering with audio playback on the source device. Move away from sources of electromagnetic interference.
