iFi Audio ZEN Air DAC

iFi Audio ZEN Air DAC

With the ZEN Air DAC from iFi Audio, you bring a beautiful D/A converter and headphone amplifier into your home. This ZEN Air is developed with the technology from the popular ZEN DAC series and is adapted in such a way that this DAC is accessible to an even broader group of music lovers. Most importantly, there is no compromise on ease of use and sound quality.

Why ZEN Air?

In this price range, a digital volume control is usually used where, especially at lower volumes, a large part of the resolution is lost. Because this loss is very audible, iFi Audio has equipped the audio circuit with a relatively expensive analog volume control that allows the ZEN Air DAC to always play your music at maximum high-res resolution.

Unlike the more expensive ZEN DAC, the ZEN Air DAC features a plastic housing, but in doing so it shares the iconic ZEN design. Moreover, with the ZEN Air, iFi Audio opted for a high-quality single-ended audio circuit because many music lovers do not use the relatively expensive fully balanced technology. Here iFi Audio uses the same high-quality semiconductors as applied in the top series. So with this ZEN Air, you never pay too much for technology you don't use anyway.

ZEN Air, the DAC of your dreams

IfI Audio has equipped the ZEN Air DAC with a very high quality bit-perfect DAC from Burr-Brown. These DACs are very popular for their extremely musical sound quality. The maximum resolution is 32bit-384kHz in PCM. DSD is natively supported up to DSD256. In addition, the ZEN Air DAC is capable of playing MQA files. So get the most out of the Tidal Master collection with a Tidal Hi-Fi subscription with this DAC.

Simply connect the ZEN Air DAC via the USB 2.0 or USB3.0 port of your PC, laptop or mobile device. Then connect the DAC with the RCA line output to an analog amplifier, a set of active speakers or plug your headphones into the 6.35mm headphone jack and enjoy music in significantly better sound quality than before. Totally ZEN right?
