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.

2019年11月14日 · I upgraded to the Zen-Dac-Signature and just heard the ground loop. It turns out it's not the Zen-Can amp - but actually the balanced 4.4mm lineout socket on the Dac. The alignment must be slightly off and the poles don't quite align and you can hear the buzzing hum - but push the jack right or left - or pull the jack out a tiny bit and it goes ...

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:

2019年3月27日 · Set with a similar digital filter and optiammly supplied with power the CS43198 can sound very similar to the DSD1793 implementation in the ZEN DAC. Given the limitations the (undersized) power supply included with the ZEN CAN imposes, I would suggest to look at a power upgrade first, unless you only drive high impedance and high sensitivity ...

2021年11月28日 · Well, i think there wasn't on amazon the 80ohm version, or it was way more expensive than the 250Ohm, but as i said i can still return the 990 Pros, in fact i tried now both the DX3 Pro+ and Zen Dac V2, and i think i liked more the zen dac v2 (Actually in A/B comparison i couldn't hear any difference, but the zen dac is cheapier and has the ...

2020年7月30日 · Zen dac has a preference signature which maybe be good or bad depending on the listener. E30 is a bit forward sounding and the Zen dac is laid back. At same volume level, source, listening position and room the e30 is louder. Zen dac has mqa support whereas the e30 doesn't have that. Both are good options for the budget.

2024年2月3日 · USB into Zen DAC, RCA into AMP, 3.5mm into headphones. I've been eyeing off speakers and trying to figure something out where I can switch between headphones and speakers either with this setup. Is this something I should still be going down on the more budget, gets used a few times a week-style listing I do or should I just go for something ...

2021年8月20日 · I've since decided I will probably get a desktop decent DAC with volume control for my main system, and take my NAD DAC/headphone amp for my second system. Planning to get a separate headphone amp at a later date. I'm currently looking at two quite different DACs, the SMSL M300 mkii and the Zen DAC Signature.

2018年12月5日 · The regular-Zen-Dac is reasonably good for an inexpensive entry level Dac/Amp combo, but if that warmer sound is your preference I would suggest trying the newer Signature-Zen-Dac as it's a little more detailed and less compressed sounding when compared to …

2005年3月11日 · These three sit at the top of my list for a cost effective upgrade to my dacmagic XS which runs out of juice too easily with low sensitivity / high impedance phones. I'm after any comparison experience, or any alternatives sub£300 for a …
