About this deal
If you connect your standard PC speakers to the iFi ZEN DAC, you first hear how bad they sound … so better leave it at the 3.
What Hi-Fi? and here are 6 we highly recommend - What Hi-Fi?
It glows blue to indicate it is playing an MQA Studio file, which has either been approved in the studio by the artist/producer or has been verified by the copyright owner.Enjoy your music in the original master recording quality as the ZEN DAC V2 can now render and decode MQA files seamlessly. The FiiO does have the equivalent of the iFi’s ‘True Bass’ button, but for me, the bass lacks on the low-end on that unit.
Zen DAC V2 + Zen Stream: the perfect match? iFi Audio Zen DAC V2 + Zen Stream: the perfect match?
I love the different coloured LEDs around the volume control which shows what quality the music you’re listening to is. After years of listening to Hi Res audio through my iMac’s inferior DAC, I took the plunge and bought this gorgeous bit of kit. I found the setting in my Tidal player on my pc “use exclusive mode” and the led light lit up magellan for the MQA is on! I also purchased from AliExpress UK design 5v linear power supply with quality copper toroid transformer for my E50.A whole other world, it reports a very precise sound both as a preamp for active speakers and as a headphone amp. From time to time, iFi audio would like to send you relevant information on new products, firmware updates, special offers or important industry information. Tonally, this is a well-judged unit, having just the right degree of smoothness at high frequencies to prevent low bit rate or thin-sounding music streams from getting annoying. I'll probably try the new Zen Phono on my desktop system too, to replace the Rega Fono Mini I'm currently using.
