The editors liked

  • Solid audio
  • Svelte package with minimalist styling that works with damn near anything.  The Burr Brown DAC and solid amplification result in a potent combo your ears won't soon forget

The editors didn't like

  • No 5 volt charger.  While this in no way prevents me from using or even enjoying the DAC
  • I personally find it inexcusable and therefore equate it to an objective and moral failing on the part of the manufacturer
  • IFI
  • Final Analysis
  • I really enjoy liste

  • Abstract:  “A new ZEN Signature series for DROP? What on earth are you talking about?” is probably what you will say if this news hasn't reached you yet. But yes, it's true, there's a special version of the ZEN DAC and CAN available right now! This article was suppo...

  • Abstract:  iFi has a solid track record when it comes to all-in-one portables and desktop units, so the Zen series isn't exactly out of their wheelhouse.The ZenDAC falls into a category I think of as ‘transportable,' not truly portable since there's no battery, but...

  • I really enjoy listening to the IFI Zen DAC and I will probably purchase one in the near future.  But it would make a good gift, too, to my friends and family who love good audio but don't want anything too flashy or expensive.  At the heart of the matter...

  • Sounds unreasonably good for the asking price, Well made, Surprisingly flexible
  • Single input only, Needs an additional PSU for full headphone performance, Some limits to portability

  • Balanced and detailed sound, Good build quality, Lots of features,
  • Nothing at this price,
  • Compare the iFi with price rivals and it's clearly up there with the best when it comes to sound quality. But it also offers a degree of versatility that those rivals don't. If you're looking for a well-built, budget desktop DAC, this iFi should be top of...

  Published: 2020-04-23, review by: hifipig.com

  • Excellent mid and tight and secure top end, Plays native DSD audio, Balanced output, MQA friendly
  • Power output less than I would have liked (330mW@32 Ohm balanced output) but worked well with inefficient headphones using high gain “Power Match” button
  • I really enjoyed reviewing this cute little box just as I did the Zen Blue a while ago. For the price this is the perfect accompaniment to your laptop or tablet, and even working particularly well as a pre-amp for your HiFi if your sources are via USB. To...

  • Smooth, relaxed sound, Supports high-impedance headphones, Built like a tank
  • No power supply included, Always stays on, Short included USB cable
  • The iFi Zen DAC is an excellent DAC and amp for the price. The unit has support for most major hi-fi audio formats as well as balanced connections, which is rare for entry-level audio products. While the Zen DAC isn't the last word in sound stage, dynamic...

  • Le iFi Audio Zen DAC offre une qualité de son hautement recommandable à qui ne cherchera à se procurer un DAC de qualité n'ayant que pour entrée une connectique USB. Ce choix fera défaut à ceux qui souhaitent pouvoir utiliser plusieurs sources différentes...

  Published: 2020-02-07, Author: Lewis , review by: techradar.it

  • Suono morbido e cristallino, Supporto per cuffie ad alta impedenza, Costruito per durare,
  • Nessun alimentatore incluso, Rimane costantemente acceso, Il cavo USB incluso è corto,
  • iFi Zen Dac è uno dei migliori convertitori audio entry-level che si possano acquistare. Si sente davvero bene, ha un'enormità di funzioni e può accompagnare l'evoluzione del vostro sistema audio. Lo Zen DAC non ha la dinamica e i dettagli dei suoi fratel...
