This ZEN DAC V2 is the same award-winning Hi-Res USB DAC/headphone amplifier as before, but with added oomph! Compact enough for use as a USB DAC/amp on your desk and stylish enough for use at home with your favorite active speakers or amplifier.

16 core = hardcore

This allows you to play audio files and MQA streams, providing the sound of the original master recording. The LED lights up green or blue to indicate that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file and indicates the source to ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material. It lights up blue to indicate that it is playing an MQA Studio file, which has either been approved in the studio by the artist/producer or verified by the copyright owner.

User-friendly

Effortlessly switch between "variable" and "fixed". 

Set to "Variable", use the ZEN DAC V2 as a preamplifier to feed a power amplifier or active speakers. 

On "Fixed" to bypass the volume control. Connect to an external preamplifier or integrated amplifier.

Bass Ace

The ZEN DAC V2 features TrueBass. This proprietary technology is a switchable "bass boost" that operates in the analog domain. There is no DSP with iFi equipment.

    When you hold it in your hands, you understand that it is a valuable machine.
    It is worth every penny and more.
    It is the definition of VFM.
    iFi is a very serious company that produces very good devices that do their job well.
    I am completely satisfied!!

    I have bought the machine about a month ago and I wanted to try it before writing my review.
    I have read the excellent reviews it has received both here and abroad from reputable Sound sites.
    In conclusion, I am thrilled with the machine!!
    High-quality construction and exceptional sound!! It is worth multiple times the money you pay!!
    I would also recommend investing in the power supply by purchasing the ifi power2 silence.

    The iFi Audio Zen DAC v2 is a respectable machine.
    I have connected it to my iPad Pro and the music streams from Tidal HiFi Plus sound wonderful, airy, and natural. Especially the Master files from Tidal and generally the MQA files sound incredibly authentic. Obviously, it is a very well-designed machine.
    Listening to Hi-Res files from Apple Music (because I am a subscriber to Apple Music) labeled as High Res Lossless by Apple, I get the same enjoyable sound.
    I should note that the DAC has a color code that shows you the type of music format and the sampling frequency of the music file.
    In conclusion, it is an exceptional machine that can easily "sit" in a rack with expensive machines of multiple times its value!

    Quite good DAC, it doesn't affect the sound quality and that's what I wanted to match with the Senheiser HD560S. The build quality is very good, the only negative thing I would say is the USB cable that comes with it because it is too short.

    For the money it costs, it's a real opportunity!!
    Solid construction and beautiful lines exude aesthetics.
    It is compatible with the 5th generation iPad Air and works wonders... with Tidal premium and Apple Music, streaming in all formats and all sample rates is a real pleasure.
    In conclusion, I have to say that it is worth multiple times the 200 euros (199 to be precise) it costs!!

    For the money, it may be one of the best.
    I use it on my laptop and it easily drives the Hifiman Ananda and the Focal Celestee

    One-way street for this money. I would suggest combining it with the ifi ipower v2 5v for better performance.

    Verified purchase from Heaven Audio

    Beautiful and sturdy construction, by looking at it you can assume that it costs more than what you paid. I use the DAC and bypass the potentiometer section with the transformer bypass that it has on the back. The rest of the system consists of a Gainclone amplifier and the Elac debut reference speakers. All of this in my computer office. The sound is pleasant and realistic, I am completely satisfied with its performance. However, the headphone section is clearly lacking. Even though theoretically it can drive high impedance headphones, it performed poorly with the Sennheiser 650 HD. And with the easier AKG 240 STUDIO, the result was very mediocre. If someone intends to use it as a source for headphones, I would recommend looking for something else. To conclude the rambling, a stabilized external power supply at 5V is necessary, nothing exotic, an LM 317 is sufficient.

    The sound is very loud without having connected an external (5V) power cable and the power match works well.
    I quite like the bass boost of my iFi, to the point where I have it permanently on, it matches well with my DT 990 Pro headphones which are not particularly known for their bass.
    Without having much experience with DAC/AMPS, I declare myself satisfied!

    P.S. For those who know that the color on the knob changes with the bitrate and the type of audio track being played from the device, I note that for it to work correctly, your player (e.g. musicbee/foobar) needs to have exclusive WASAPI or ASIO interface set up

    The best dac/amp for the money. The bass boost fits almost everything and doesn't distort.
