Each provides great sound for headphone and two-channel speaker setups alike. The new Zen One Signature brings together the best of both for spectacular hi-fi sound and wireless convenience. In fact, this is the first Zen Series DAC to support all high-res formats — including PCM, MQA, and DSD audio from traditional wired sources, as well as wireless formats like aptX® HD and LDAC. A pure DAC with no headphone amp It's important to note that this is a pure DAC — there's no onboard headphone amplifier. As such, it's a more focused piece where the DAC circuit really shines. There's a 32-bit Burr-Brown True Native® high-res DAC chip under the hood that takes care of the heavy lifting. It uses an upgraded high-precision crystal clock, an intelligent memory buffer, and a digital filter customized by iFi to keep jitter and other digital distortion to an absolute minimum. A powerful 16-core processor handles the incoming USB data, ensuring all the digital signal's 1s and 0s are in the right spot before they hit the DAC. The processor has been carefully optimized by iFi to ensure it works in harmony with the Burr-Brown DAC chip. The Zen Blue V2 is a pure DAC with built-in Bluetooth, making it a perfect companion to your desktop headphone amplifier. High-fidelity Bluetooth sound The Bluetooth section uses Qualcomm's new high-performance QCC5100 chip paired with proprietary iFi circuits to provide superior wireless sound. On top of that, the included high-gain Bluetooth antenna nets you some extra range. The Zen One Signature supports all major wireless high-res formats, including LDAC, HWA/LHDC, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, and AAC. Digital and analog connections On the back panel, you'll find two S/PDIF inputs (optical and coaxial) and a USB type-B input for connecting digital sources. The digital inputs support up to 32-bit/192kHz PCM as well as MQA, so don't be afraid to hook up your computer, CD transport, or smartphone and stream away. There's also a pair of stereo RCA outputs and a 4.4mm balanced output for connecting the Zen One Signature to an integrated amp, preamp, headphone amp, or active speakers. Do not connect the 4.4mm output to headphones — the full signal could damage your headphones and/or hearing.
