Crystal clear analogue
Often when converting a signal from digital to analogue there is often the risk of signal degradation or noise from external sources tarnishing the quality of the original source. iFi tackles this by using a balanced circuit design and premium circuit components and chipsets such as the Burr-Brown True Native to negate distortion and remove any noise so your audio remains clear and natural, as the artist intended on its conversions journey.
Universal DAC
The ZEN One is designed as a pure DAC with no headphone amp and no volume control bogging it down. This defined purpose allows you to utilise it as a home audio hub for your digital devices such as smartphones, PCs, TVs, games consoles and so much more. Connections include a S/PDIF in/output, optical input, USB input, Bluetooth antenna, 4.4mm output and an RCA output. ZEN One's versatile connections portfolio means it will easily integrate into your setup but also keeps you covered for any future additions you can't plan for.
Intuitive design
When switching sources you want the process to be as smooth as possible, without any complications of diving through on-screen menus or having to hold down every button on the unit in mysterious combinations to operate. iFi keeps it simple. Its vivid LEDs let you know exactly what mode you're in so in no time at all you'll know exactly what you're looking for when switching sources and when using the input switch button you'll be surprised how quick and seamless the process can be, ideal for both beginners and seasoned audiophiles.
