ifi ZEN DAC V2

This ZEN DAC V2 is the same award-winning hi-res USB DAC/headphone amp as before, but with added oomph!

iFi  upgraded its digital engine from an 8 core XMOS chip to a 16 core chip. It’s ultra-capable while still being super-affordable.

Compact enough to use as a USB DAC/amp on your work desk and stylish enough to use at home with your favourite active speakers or amp, it delivers a level of specification and performance that punches above its super-affordable price tag.

The ZEN DAC V2 supports PCM and DXD to 32-bit/384kHz, DSD256 and MQA. DSD remains ‘bit-perfect’ thanks to the True Native Burr-Brown chip design.

Add a high quality DAC your computer and get more from your headphones and stereo system.
