iFi Audio ZEN One Studio

ZEN One Studio is an advanced D/A converter that delivers unmatched levels of performance in its class for musicians who require high-resolution reproduction of their recordings.

The compact chassis is ideally suited for use in home and professional studio situations, and the connectivity options make it compatible with DAWs, personal audio devices and many other digital playback devices.

Use it in conjunction with the ZEN Can Studio to create a complete interface/controller for use with active monitors or headphones.

Studio. Or at home.

Nothing stands in your way with the ZEN One Studio. It’s a pure D/A with no headphone amp and no volume control, meaning all the design effort is focused on making it the best possible multi-input D/A for the money and the perfect audio hub for all your digital gear.

Use it in the studio and you can be confident that what you hear from your DAW, digital recorder or playback device is exactly what you recorded.

Use it at home and stream at 96kHz via HD Bluetooth from your DAP, which is also the perfect solution for listening to musicians' rough mixes from their smartphones in the studio.

Stacked. With technology.

The ZEN One Studio uses a Burr Brown True Native® D/A chipset for bit-perfect conversion, leaving the file format unchanged for accurate and reliable results.

The built-in Global Master Timing® clock has an intelligent memory buffer that eliminates source jitter to prevent it from being passed on to the D/A output.

The powerful 16-core XMOS processor processes incoming digital data, giving the ZEN One Studio state-of-the-art audio support for 32-bit/384kHz PCM, DSD256 and full MQA decoding.

Smooth. And balanced.

The ZEN One Studio features balanced circuitry for ultra-low distortion and exceptional sonic precision.

Connect it to a pair of powered speakers or a dedicated headphone amplifier via XLR, TRS, or 4.4mm balanced outputs and enjoy ultra-quiet performance for accurate recording you can trust.

And. Fun.

In addition to the traditional inputs, the ZEN One Studio also features a Bluetooth playback facility, making it ideal for use as a leisure product as well as a music production tool.

HD Bluetooth, with support for aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptXLL, LDAC and LHDC/HWA, among others, and a high-gain antenna ensure the very best reproduction from a Bluetooth source.
