2016年2月13日 · This is a review and detailed measurements of the ifi Zen balanced DAC and headphone amplifier. I purchased it from Amazon last week. The Zen DAC costs US $130 including free shipping. I must say, I am not a fan of the look of the Zen DAC. It hearkens back to 1960s furniture style which would look out of place on most desktops:

2022年3月15日 · In the meantime given how well LDAC has performed on @amirm's test bench, albeit with simple SINE waves, I fancy trying the ifi Zen Blue V2 solely as an LDAC transport, through the SHD to the speaker's digital input. I know very little about Dirac and room correction apart from how powerful a tool it is and I hear terms like headroom and gain ...

2019年11月14日 · The Siganture-Dac does sound better than the regular iFi Zen-Dac particularly in the highs, it's definitely cleaner and has more separation. I bought it as an open box from Amazon for £217, so I have 30 days to return it - but if the issue does not come back I'm going to keep it as it sounds really great.

2025年3月13日 · iFi’s third-gen Zen DAC returns with a USB-C input, greater file compatibility and a clearer, if safer, sound.

2021年11月28日 · Well, the point of my earlier post is that there isn't really a "better" option because it depends on what your requirements are. I also wouldn't limit yourself to just the Ifi Zen Dac V2 and the DX3 Pro+; there are a fair number of great DAC/amp combos. But if you just want a quick answer then buy the DX3 Pro+.

2021年1月13日 · Currently using an ifi Zen Blue v2 as an interface between my M1 Mac and a RNHP - but was struggling to obtain anything beyond a "blue" indicator light on both the logo on kHz circle (aka AAC @48kHz). After some research I discovered this thread and the "Bluetooth Explorer" application (provided in Apples Developer Tool Kit 11).

2024年10月16日 · The only tangible advantages the ifi has over it is the balanced output, which won't make a difference in most cases, and availability outside the US. Schiit Mani 2 Review (Phono Stage) This is a review and detailed measurements of the Schiit Mani 2 …

2024年10月16日 · I have the original iFi Zen and the Parks Waxwing. The Zen will work well with most cartridges and has a noise floor free of 60 HZ hum. The Waxwing is infinitely more flexible and is just as hum free as the Zen. Zen cost me $200 and is my backup in case the Waxwing ever fails. Waxwing cost me $500 and is my primary phono preamp.

2022年6月27日 · This is a review and detailed measurements of the ifi Zen Air Phono stage with moving coil and moving magnet support. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $99. This is the first ifi product I have seen in this casing which is …
