Desktop USB DAC and headphone amplifier

iFi ZEN DAC V2

Chill out. At home. In the office. The super-affordable compact DAC and headphone amp just got even better. This ZEN DAC V2 is the same award-winning hi-res USB DAC/headphone amp as before but with added oomph! iFi has upgraded its digital engine from an 8 core XMOS chip to a 16 core chip. It's ultra-capable while still being super-affordable.
