Ifi - Desktop - Zen Air DAC 2 (UK) - DAC & Headphone Amplifier
Made for Listening.
The ZEN Air DAC 2 is your key to more involving music listening at home, bringing our emotionally engaging house sound to yours with little cost and complexity.
Finished in midnight blue, Generation 2 introduces a more premium look and feel, a more expressive headphone listening experience, and a newly chosen DAC
- selected for its natural ability to connect you with your music, not the technology behind it.
Designed Around a New DAC.
We’ve built the ZEN Air DAC 2 around our favourite bit-perfect DAC from Cirrus Logic, selected for how naturally it presents detail without sounding forced or analytical.
As a result, this generation brings measurable gains in clarity, dynamics and distortion, building a better connection between you and your music.
Now Balanced.
Previously reserved for the standard ZEN series, the ZEN Air DAC 2 comes complete with a balanced 4.4mm headphone output.
Pair it with your favourite balanced headphones to reduce noise and crosstalk, whilst unlocking more spacious, separated sound.
Power, Upgraded.
With the addition of balanced circuitry, amplification performance takes a significant step forward.
Delivering up to 300% more headphone drive than its predecessor, the ZEN Air DAC 2 gives your headphones the control they need to reveal greater depth and emotion within each track.
Control the Feel.
For moments when you’re wanting a little more from your favourite song, the ZEN Air DAC 2 includes two analogue sonic features on its fascia.
XBass+ enhances low frequencies for additional energy and excitement.
PowerMatch adjusts gain to bring hard-to-drive headphones to life.
Refined Design.
A new midnight blue finish, paired with a metal fascia, brings a more premium look and feel to your setup.
A dedicated power button, added in response to user feedback, lets you switch off your system without reaching behind your setup or disconnecting cables.
Maximise the audio quality from your phone, tablet or computer with the Zen Air DAC 2.
