iFi ZEN DAC V2 - Desktop Digital Analog Converter met USB-B 3.0 Input/Outputs: 6.3mm Unbalanced / 4.4mm Balanced/RCA - MQA DECODER - Audio System Upgrade

For me, it is a big step and I like its build quality and sound very much.I know there are much better ones out there but at least double or triple the price!

Werkt precies zoals beschreven zeer tevreden

Not much to say except it sounds amazing

Got the product two days earlier than expected, which is great.Immediately plugged it in and started listening to music.At first, it worked as expected, but here and then I would get a weird popping sound.Didn't know what it was or why, maybe I needed the adapter. (which cost a fortune if you want an ifi adapter). Later reading the manual, I saw you needed to install the driver manually. So I did and it fixed the popping sound.After installing the driver manually, it works perfect. The bass boost is amazing, and it can drive my cans easily. The fact that you can change the type of output for the speakers is great.

ordered late in the evening and received next afternoon.thank you

Bij de eerste zending bleek ik een teruggestuurd exemplaar te hebben ontvangen. Beschadigde plakkerige en vieze doos. Apparaat was al uit de beschermfolie en lag los in de doos. Kabeltjes lagen los en kabelbindertjes lagen los in de doos. Apparaat werkte wel goed maar had er toch geen goed gevoel bij. Heb het aangemeld bij Amazon en hebben direct retourcode toegestuurd. Apparaat vervolgens opnieuw besteld en kwam zeer snel (na 1 dag) binnen. Deze zag er veel beter uit en was gewoon nieuw. Uiteindelijk toch een tevreden klant.

Mooi product alleen is er wel een grote restrictie op volume controll. Ik heb 't apparaat aan mijn PC aangesloten via usb, ik kan geluid niet via mijn keyboard (logitech g910) bedienen en ook niet via Windows 10 volume menu, om de master volume van heel de pc te bedienen gaat dit alleen via de iFi ZEN DAC V2.Je kan wel volume bediene via bijvoorbeeld spotify eigen volume menu of youtube eigen volume menu. Het is echter niet mogelijk om alle audio source zoals (spotify, youtube, games, films) te bedien via de standaard windows volume controller of je keyboard volume controller, dit kan alleen via de iFi ZEN DAC V2.Ik vind het heel ongemakkelijk om elke keer het geluid via de dac/ amp aan te passen, terwijl t makkelijk en sneller moet gaan via windows eigen volume controller of je eigen keyboard volume controller.

Prachtige hoofdtelefoonversterker, mooi prijsje. De klank is warm en gedetailleerd, erg mooi door mijn Sennheiser 560S.

I bought This Amp/dac for powering up my ATH-M50X which this headphone dose not need a powerful amp but this zen dac v2 was not a joke. it was soo good to be true and the balance output was in another level of sound quality which it was perfect for a balance neutral sound headphones. I even tried a more power hunger headphones like the dt 770 pro 250ohm and this amp/dac really surprised me, it drove it with ease. I really recommend for everyone that wants a powerful amp/dac and dose not want to put a fortune on it. 10/10 product no problem or issue with, Just a reminder to anyone wants to use it on a console update the firmware for the device to the latest update

イギリスの高級オーディオメーカー『Abbingdon Music Research』のお手頃ブランド「ifi audio」の超コスパツヨツヨDACです。まじで、これがコスパ最強だと思います。簡単に音程増幅もできますし、接続も簡単です。バランス接続対応の4.2mm標準プラグが必要ですが、変換端子があれば問題ありません。後継機種が続々出てるので、コスパ重視の人はこれで大いに満足できると思います。私はおおお気持ちぇぇぇ(ﾟ∀｡)ってなりました。ifi audio 最高☆

Wurde unter Linux einwandfrei als Sounddevice erkannt. An der Klangqualität gibt es nichts auszusetzen. Läuft hier an einem kleinen Headless-PC auf dem der mpd installiert ist.

Any of these are going to greatly improve the sound over plugging your headphones directly into the mini-jack on a computer.Listening was done with a few different headphones but mostly with beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X Closed-Back Studio Headphones. Music source was a laptop connected to the DAC/Headphone Amp via USB. If an external power supply was included, I used that. If not, power came via USB.I've kept notes on my impressions brief and included comparisons amongst the DAC/Amp's in this list. They are listed below in my order of preference with my favorites at the top. If you want flowery vocabulary I'm sure in depth reviews are available out there on the web.Headphones make the greatest difference in sound - spend more on them, if necessary. The DAC/Amp is secondary but does add its own flavor to the music.---iFi Zen DAC V2 | Desktop Digital Analog Converter(Listening only with "TRUEBASS" off.)Very good.Slightly better than the FiiO K7. Better vocal clarity and slightly fuller bass.I ended up comparing this with the FX-Audio DAC-X6 head to head, which continued to surprise me as I put it up against significantly more expensive competitors. Across several hours and many pieces of music, I prefer the iFi... but the difference is infinitesimal. Possibly the iFi has a little more punch to the bass? Maybe a bit more space ans separation? If you're working to a budget, get the FX-Audio and put the extra cash towards better headphones.FX-Audio DAC-X6 Mini HiFi 2.0 Digital Audio Decoder DACThis thing is good. Surprisingly good. I ended up putting it head-to-head with amps costing three times its price.Slightly warmer sound, with slightly less detail in the vocals than the iFi Zen Air, but more space in the music, and more enjoyable to listen to. Slightly better clarity than the Topping.FiiO K7 Full Balanced HiFi DAC Headphone AmplifierThis is indeed better than the K5 version. Vocals are more lifelike. And a particular emphasis on the mid-treble heard in the K5 is absent. There is more separation between the instruments.Very close call with the iFi V2, with my preference going to the iFi for better vocal clarity and slightly fuller bass.iFi Zen Air DACNot quite as good as the V2, but close. Closer than the FiiO K5 is to the K7. There is, again, a comparative emphasis in mid-treble and the vocals get a bit lost. The sound is slightly thin compared to rivals at this price point.FiiO K5 Pro Headphone Amps Portable Desktop DAC and AmplifierNot quite as good as the K7, but at half the price one cannot really complain. Vocals are not quite as lifelike and there is more mid-treble - but not in a good way.Topping DX1 Mini Stereo DAC Headphone Amplifier ComboVery good little unit. Bass is slightly overemphasized.Fosi Audio K5 Pro Gaming DAC Headphone AmplifierI thought this unit was DOA. Turns out that you must long press the volume knob to turn it on. (Short press to select input.)Not terrible, but not as musical as the others in this test. Also, the only one with bass and treble knobs. And only a mini-jack - no 1/4" jack.Pro-Ject Head Box S2 DigitalThis DAC/Amp had an issue that makes it unlistenable. The sound is very nice... but... there's some faint static. Only in the music, not in silence. A faint crackling.... Can't have that.

Parece que la música "respira", más imagen sonora, definición, transparencia...no se parece nada el sonido que escuchaba antes al que escucho ahora.Tengo unos Audio-Technica y ahora si que le estoy sacando todo lo que dan de si.Al principio era un poco reacio a pagar esos casi 200€ pero según los conectas, aparte del plus de poderlos escuchar balanceados ya que mis auriculares traen el cable preparado para ello, te olvidas del dinero invertido y vuelves a descubrir la música de otra manera.100% recomendado!
