It’s what Ifi has done with its budget home DAC and headphone amp offering, with the original Zen DAC now making way for a ‘V2’ model. The sequel uses the new-generation processing chip found in the higher-ranging Neo iDSD and iDSD Diablo DAC /headphone amps, delivering double the clock speed and four times the memory of the chip inside the original.

I've had the Ifi Zen Dac for about a month. It's my first dedicated Dac/Amp. Not an audiophile of much experience. I really enjoy using it with my pc. Mostly using spotify or amazon hd music on either a 660s or Ether CX. I prefer the balanced connection, to my novice listening experience the soundstage seems wider. Plenty of power.

The Zen DAC clearly outperforms our MacBook Pro laptop easily, sounding clearer and more detailed. We listen to Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and are impressed by the Ifi’s expressive dynamics and its ability to reproduce the piano’s harmonic richness convincingly.

Nov 15, 2019 . This is a review and detailed measurements of the Ifi Zen balanced DAC and headphone amplIfier. I purchased it from Amazon last week. The Zen DAC costs US $130 including free shipping. I must say, I am not a fan of the look of the Zen DAC. It hearkens back to 1960s furniture style which would look out of place on most desktops:

The Ifi Audio Zen DAC v2 is a refresh and replacement of the existing Zen DAC that bagged an Editor’s Choice Award in the 2020 listings. The Zen range continues to expand at a rate of knots and not content with new products, Ifi has been applying lessons learned so far to the existing models.
Reviews Ifi ZEN DAC V2 – A bargain piece of kit “One of the best bargains on the market at this time. Quality build and sound.
The ZEN DAC V2 boasts TrueBass. This proprietary tech is a switchable ‘bass boost’ operating in the analogue domain. There’s no DSP with Ifi gear. TrueBass enhances the bass but does not muddy the mid-range. Perfect for use with IEMs or open-back headphones which often lack bass.
The Ifi Zen on paper has dazzlingly good feature set for its price. Lots of connectivity is there together with a western company standing behind it. Alas, the DAC portion is yesterday's news and not competitive. Headphone output is low and distorts quite easily.
Southport, England – Hot on the heels of the ZEN Blue hi-res Bluetooth streamer, Ifi expands the ZEN family of desktop-sized audio products with the ZEN DAC – a USB DAC/headphone amp offering a level of specIfication and performance that belies its eminently affordable £129 price tag.
Conclusion: Ifi has made some iconic audio products and the Zen Can is no exception. Great build quality, sound and performance with a very usual design I personally like. It worked well everything from headphones to IEMs. The Zen Can and Dac offer a great performance to price ratio, together the work so well complimenting each other.
Find your ZEN with this super-affordable compact DAC/headphone amp. It makes your music move you. This superb hi-res USB DAC /headphone amp delivers a level of specIfication and performance that punches above its super-affordable price tag. Compact enough to use as a USB DAC/amp on your work desk with your much-loved headphones.
The DAC section is based around a Burr-Brown DAC chip that Ifi uses extensively, selected for its fluid, highly ‘musical’ sound quality and ‘True Native’ architecture.
