Fi Audio ZEN DAC Compact USB DAC/Headphone Amplifier
A compact and stylish USB DAC/Headphone amp that delivers precise specs and performance!
The ZEN DAC supports PCM and DXD to 32-bit/384kHz, DSD256 and MQA . DSD remains 'bit-perfect' thanks to the True Native Burr Brown chip design.
Our R&D maxes out the circuitry with bespoke, easy to install firmware to bring you the joyful musicality of hi-res. The ethereal music quality will leave you grinning ear to ear.
Switch effortlessly between 'variable' and 'fixed'.
Set to 'Variable,' use the ZEN DAC as a pre-amp to feed a power amp or active speakers.
On 'Fixed' to bypass the volume control. Connect to an external pre-amp or integrated amp.
The ZEN DAC boasts TrueBass. This proprietary tech is a switchable 'bass boost' operating in the analogue domain. There's no DSP with iFi gear.
TrueBass enhances the bass but does not muddy the mid-range. Perfect for use with IEMs or open-back headphones which often lose out on bass.
So, in the words of the great Eric Clapton and from the film Back to the Future, Heaven is One Step Away .
Go find your ZEN.
A fully-discrete and balanced amplifier audio circuit. The full symmetric dual-mono headphone amplifier with gold-plated 4.4mm balanced connection. Premium engineering is more expensive but lowers the noise floor to a whisper-quiet level.
Check out thetech note for the details.
TrueBass ® – delivers genuine bass with realistic depth and definition.
Everything from timpani to a bass guitar, to an electronic bassline, is conveyed with power and poise.
TDK C0G (Class 1 ceramic) capacitors offer high stability and low losses for resonant circuit applications. They are pricey but are a perfect addition to our products.
The Burr-Brown True Native ® chipset means file formats remain unchanged. Listen to music as the artist intended in the format in which it was recorded.
Hi-Res True Native ® playback of all music formats from MP3 to DSD256, PCM384 and DXD384.
Listen to Master Quality Authenticated audio straight out of the box. Connect to Tidal Masters and check the option to stream MQA.
Our video tutorials on You Tube show you how.
Using Mac or Linux? Then check out our exclusive iFi firmware. Download 'Limoncello' 5.2A to unlock DoP256 for Mac/Linux. Fancy adding the special GTO filter first introduced in our flagship DAC, the Pro iDSD? Use 'Cookies and Cream' 5.3C. More on the GTO filter here.
It is a superior method to the traditional single-ended circuit approach. Balanced circuits reduce noise and crosstalk. Less Interference - clearer sound.
You normally find this set-up in products at the higher end of the price spectrum such as the Pro iCAN, but iFi is now using this across its range to produce the best quality audio for all our customers.
