Title

The HIFIMAN EF499 is a desktop DAC/amp with streaming media support built in: streamer, conversion and headphone amplification share one chassis and one power cable. It is for headphone listeners, HIFIMAN planar owners especially, who want to consolidate a crowded desk stack into a single component.

Who the HIFIMAN EF499 is for

  • Crowded desks: A stack of separate streamer, DAC and amp boxes can shrink to a single unit.
  • HIFIMAN planar owners: It pairs naturally with HIFIMAN's own planar headphones, which want a desktop amp rather than a dongle.
  • Network-fed headphone systems: Run it as the hub, network in and full-size headphones out, and skip the usual pile of interconnects and wall warts.

HIFIMAN EF499 key specs

  • Type: Desktop DAC and headphone amplifier
  • Streaming: Built-in streaming media support
  • Signal path: Network in, headphones out
  • Power: One power cable for streamer, DAC and amp
  • Color: Black

Genuine HIFIMAN stock with 45-day returns.

HIFIMAN EF499 vs similar options

  • vs Douk Audio C100 PRO: A preamp-streamer that sits at the front of a speaker system, feeding a power amp or active speakers; the EF499 builds in a headphone amplifier, so pick it for a headphone-first desk.
