DAC Chip
You may not even realise it, but most of us use a digital-to-analogue converter (commonly known as a DAC) daily. Built into your computers, tablets and smartphones, a DAC is fundamental to unlocking the convenience of digital music. Any device that acts as a digital sound source will need a DAC to convert digital audio to analog. A DAC converts the digital information stored in “0s and 1s” into an analog signal that's passed to speakers or headphones and ultimately our ear. In short, DACs play a large part in making digital music hearable.
While this technical process is undoubtedly impressive, the DAC embedded into your smartphones or laptops is nowhere good enough to listen to your favourite music recordings in high quality. So, if you want to listen to music in high quality, an external DAC is essential to allow headphones or speakers to perform at their potential. An external DAC, first and foremost, will improve audio quality dramatically.

Since the laptop is an essential part of the audio chain there are headphones and devices designed to work a laptop or computer system flawlessly. With the availability of USB connectivity, it becomes easier to pair various devices like an Amp, DAC or even headphones without worrying about drivers or any additional piece of software.

DESCRIPTION
YOUR BELOVED ZEN DAC JUST GOT EVEN COOLER WITH THE ALL-NEW ZEN DAC V2
You now have a whole new reason to fall in love with this already popular and award-winning USB DAC/headphone amp. With added oomph and an indigenously developed 16-core XMOS chip, the ZEN DAC V2 has gotten better than ever before. Apart from optimizing the sound, this low-latency XMOS microcontroller improves the processing power, clock speed, memory and SuperSpeed USB standard. This ultra-capable and super portable DAC/Amp can be paired with active speakers or an amp for listening to high-quality music at home or the office.

YOUR GO-TO DAC/AMP FOR 'BIT-PERFECT', HI-RES AUDIO
The ZEN DAC V2 supports up to 32-bit/384kHZ PCM and DXD files. It even supports DSD256 and MQA for true-to-life audio. The True Native Burr-Brown chip design keeps the DSD bit-perfect and allows you to enjoy your music in studio quality just as the artist intended. This also means that it supports Hi-Res True Native playback of all music formats from MP3 to DSD256, PCM384 and DXD384.


NOT JUST AN MQA RENDERER BUT A MQA DECODER AS WELL
Enjoy your music in the original master recording quality as the ZEN DAC V2 can now render and decode MQA files seamlessly. Keep an eye on the LED light that glows green while decoding and playing MQA files. The same light turns blue to indicate the MQA Studio file being played.

JITTER-FREE SOUND USING 4.4MM BALANCED AND 6.3MM ANALOGUE CONNECTIONS
The balanced circuits of the ZEN DAC V2 reduce noise and crosstalk for a clearer sound. Moreover, the advanced GMT (Global Master Timing) Femto-precision clock provides >20dB better performance. The iFi Audio ZEN DAC V2 has a Pentaconn 4.4mm balanced output at both the front and back. It also has a 6.3mm headphone socket that lets you choose both the headphones options very effortlessly.


CONNECT TO A PRE-AMP, ACTIVE SPEAKER OR POWER AMP SEAMLESSLY
You can switch your ZEN DAC V2 from Variable to Fixed in just a moment. Set it to variable and use with a pre-amp, active speaker or power amp. You can adjust the volume over the fixed mode and can connect a external pre-amp or integrated amp to the ZEN DAC V2.


A POWERMATCH SWITCH TO DRIVE YOUR HEADPHONES AND IEMS
This headphone amp has Powermatch—A switch that adjusts the gain to match that of the headphone. Leave it at a lower setting for hiss-free audio with highly sensitive IEMs. Boost it for low impedance on/over-ears that need that extra oomph.

DEAR BASSHEADS, THE ZEN DAC V2 IS NOW YOUR ULTIMATE CHILLING MACHINE
The ZEN DAC gives you a TrueBass experience. It has a switchable ‘bass boost’ which operates in the analogue domain. It enhances the bass without muddying the mid-range. Perfect for use with IEMs or open-back headphones which often lose out on bass. It does not have DSP.
