So you've finally found the perfect pair of headphones, but it still feels like something is missing from your sound. Take a leap in quality from the sound provided from your computer or phone, and plug in the iFi Zen DAC!

It brings fantastic technical ability and some very useful features such as a fully balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn balanced output, variable or fixed volume modes, switchable gain control via the PowerMatch switch, and an analog TrueBass mode that leaves the mid-range untouched. It also features built-in MQA decoding for those that listen to Tidal Masters or have their own MQA files.

The Zen DAC provides plenty of power to drive most headphones, but if you need a touch more oomph or have hard to drive cans, consider adding a Zen CAN to make a complete Zen Stack!
