Ifi ZEN DAC 3

$199.00 $229.00

Description

  The iFi ZEN DAC 3 is a full-featured desktop converter engineered for audiophile-grade playback. Its 16-core XMOS microcontroller enables native decoding of DSD512 and MQA formats while supporting PCM resolutions up to 768kHz, preserving studio-master detail. USB-C connectivity ensures modern compatibility, while dual outputs—6.3mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced—accommodate various amplifier and headphone configurations. With 390mW of available power, enhanced DC offset management, and proprietary XBass+ and PowerMatch technologies, the ZEN DAC 3 delivers refined bass response and optimized impedance matching across your audio chain.
