This new and improved digital engine is more powerful than ever. We’ve also upgraded the clock circuitry to enhance the purist, audiophile design even further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy music without any distortion or colouration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/9777\/files\/ifi-Zen-DAC-signature-V2-wide.jpg?v=1710470937\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBalanced. Blissfully quiet.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZEN DAC Signature V2 incorporates boutique parts and circuitry inspired by the £3,000 iFi Pro range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sports a fully-symmetrical, true differential balanced\u003ci class=\"far fa-info-circle pop-balaudzen orange\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e dual-mono signal stage with direct signal paths to ensure optimal signal purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new low jitter crystal clock means \u0026gt;20dB better noise reduction.

The LED glows green or blue to indicate that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and denotes provenance to ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material. It glows blue to indicate it is playing an MQA Studio file, which has either been approved in the studio by the artist\/producer or has been verified by the copyright owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConfident connections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can trust in accurate, jitter free data transfer from your source device. The USB Type B input is asynchronous, meaning that the data rate is regulated solely by the ZEN DAC Signature V2’s specialised, and now upgraded, audio clock circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair of RCA sockets provide a single-ended connection to an amp and a Balanced 4.4mm output enables balanced signal transfer between compact products that cannot accommodate traditional, bulky XLR connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full benefit of the ZEN DAC Signature V2’s balanced circuit design can be heard when connected to an amp or active speakers equipped with a balanced input. This can be either a 4.4mm Balanced input, or stereo XLR inputs via a 4.4mm-to-XLR cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFixed or variable. You decide.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outputs of the ZEN DAC Signature V2 can be switched between ‘variable’ and ‘fixed’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariable – use this setting if you wish the ZEN DAC Signature V2 to control the volume of powered speakers or its volume as a preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFixed  – this option is for when you use it with downstream equipment with its own volume control. This will bypass the ZEN DAC Signature V2 as if there was a ‘straight wire’ from the digital source to the analogue amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"iFi Audio","offers":[{"title":"Zen DAC Signature V2 Only","offer_id":42514361221202,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Zen CAN SignatureV2 MZ99","offer_id":42514361253970,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"With Zen CAN and Meze 99 Classic","offer_id":42514361286738,"sku":null,"price":1499.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/9777\/files\/ifi-Zen-DAC-signature-V2-product1.jpg?v=1710471270","url":"https:\/\/soundline.co.nz\/en-int\/products\/ifi-zen-dac-signature-v2","provider":"Soundline Audio Online NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
