TC44Grip
Grip-Style Hi-Res DAC & AMP with PD
Stick, Attach, Plug – Secure to Your Phone in 3 Steps.
For optimal performance, we recommend attaching the attraction pad to your phone case. Position it approximately 10mm from the bottom edge (placement doesn’t need to be exact).
Align the bottom groove of the TC44Grip with the attraction pad and attach it securely to the back of your phone. Then, pull out the USB-C plug of the cable and insert it into your phone’s charging port.
Engineered for Performance, Inside and Out
The Internal Architecture of Grip
Based on the third-generation of the ddHiFi TC44 series, the Grip utilizes dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chips to redefine audio experiences with multidimensional technical advantages. For the amplifier section, it employs dual SGM8262-2 independent op-amps. To ensure a comfortable and fatigue-free listening experience, special tuning control has been applied to the amplitude stacking of the DAC and AMP. Additionally, it is equipped with high-efficiency power and charging management chips, giving the Grip an unprecedented sound quality within the TC44 series.
The External Connection of Grip
The Grip breaks away from the traditional ‘dangling dongle’ design 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 slide forward and backward during plugging or unplugging, while a wide radius curve at the base seamlessly guides the cable into the body—resulting in a unified, streamlined aesthetic.
Listening 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 built-in microphone and remote control functions, you’ll be able to control music playback and make phone calls directly through the inline controls.
Charging Your Phone
The TC44Grip 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*.
*Note: 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
• Tablets/laptops: Up to 60W max
