The iFi ZEN Blue is a high-quality Bluetooth receiver that provides high-resolution wireless streaming to any hi-fi set or active speaker. This compact unit supports all modern Bluetooth codecs, such as aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, LDAC, HWA/LHDC, AAC and SBC, making it suitable for virtually any mobile device.
For signal processing, iFi uses the powerful Qualcomm QCC5100 chip, combined with an ESS Sabre DAC for optimal sound quality. This combination delivers detailed, dynamic sound with low distortion and minimal jitter - far above what is common in this price range.
The ZEN Blue features analog RCA outputs as well as a balanced 4.4 mm Pentaconn output. For those who prefer digital, optical and coaxial outputs are also available. Thus, the ZEN Blue connects effortlessly to amplifiers, DACs or active speakers.
Thanks to Bluetooth 5.0, the range is excellent, and up to 7 devices can remain paired. The colored LEDs clearly indicate which codec is active. Moreover, the firmware can be updated via Bluetooth so that future codecs can be supported.
