My first Dac/Amp, and I couldn’t be happier! Great sound, good looks, and built like a tank!
i used it first without the zen can and it worked great with the DT770 pros 250ohm .
I used tidal to test it and i listened to ( Believer by imagine dragons, Bones by imagine dragons , I was never there by the weekend , Praise you by hannah grace )
it was decent amount of power but i would highly suggest the zen can it is worth the power and upgrade . if your headphones are 250+ ohms and you like really really loud music .
NOTE ( I havent used the balanced output yet ) all of these songs i listened them with the unbalanced output .
The balanced output has really much more power so if you are planning to use the balanced output it will be loud enough with the zen dac v2 ALONE .
My first DAC AMP. Did sound test online with open back headphones without and with the amp. Did not think it would make major difference, but it does! There were sounds I could not hear without it, that was surprising to me.
Excelente producto lo utilizo para el audio de mi cpu y se escucha de maravilla, fcil control de volumen con acabados de calidad
El envo a Per demoro menos de 1 semana, es un DAC muy bueno, lo recomiendo.
Klein, handlich und wertig.
Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kauf.
I was hesitant to spend 150-ish on an external DAC as I’d given up on “Hi-Fi” sound about 15yrs ago because nerve damage in one of my ears due to a medical condition has left me with permanent tinnitus and some hearing loss.
But I did and after setting everything up I left my system playing all night at low volume to “burn-in” the DAC as recommended, then loaded up a selection of my favourite go-to tracks to see how well the unit performed. The styles range from Classical, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, Prog, Ambient, and Electronica; the full list of tracks are at the end of this review if you’re interested.
All my music is ripped from CD’s, DVD’s or BD’s then converted to FLAC files to play from the music library on my PC, and to take advantage of the Volume Leveling available with the format. VL is applied by my music application and plays all tracks at the same perceived volume without altering the files themselves, so no more constantly having to reach for the volume control while playing different albums!
The VL algorithms aren’t 100% perfect, there’s still some occasional minor adjustments needed; for those that are interested this is due to how we perceive the comparative “loudness” of different sound frequencies. But overall VL works extraordinarily well; the quietest track in my music collection had to be boosted by 13dB, and the loudest track in my collection had to be attenuated by 8dB, for them both to be heard at the same perceived volume.
PROS
The sound quality of the Zen DAC V2 is a revelation, it really is a huge night and day improvement over the integrated Windows HD audio, even with my far less than perfect hearing!
I’ve been listening to some of the music in my collection for around 50yrs(!), and listening to those albums again via the Zen DAC has been incredible; I’m hearing details in the music I either never heard before, or forgot was there given I’ve been listening via cheap Soundcards or Windows Audio for so long.
There’s far more detail, openness, and clarity to the music, and the base is tighter, but as good as the Zen is, it can’t perform miracles.
One of my favorite 70’s Space Rock albums, Hawkwind’s “Hall of the Mountain Grill,” still sounds as if I’m listening to it through an old wet sock! This is down to the Mastering of the original album, which in this case leaves a lot to be desired.
The Zen DAC v2 can’t add what isn’t there to the music, but what it does is reveal the details that could otherwise be buried away in the mix; obviously the better the original source and mastering / remastering the more data the Zen will have to work with, and the better the results will be.
The tracks by William Ackerman, Alex de Grassi, and George Winston are all solo guitar or piano pieces, recorded by Windham Hill studios so the production, mic placement etc., and mastering is exceptional; when listening to these pieces through the Zen it sounds as if the instruments are in the room with you.
The build quality is great, the unit feels solid, and the ovoid form factor is cool, making it stand out in a sea of black or silver rectangular boxes.
CONS.
The installation of the software on my Win10 system went without any issues, however I was unable to make the DAC the Default Audio Source either via Control Panel / Sounds, or Device Manager / Audio inputs and outputs etc. I had to disable the integrated sound and restart the system, at which point the DAC became the Default Device.
I usually just put my system to sleep overnight, and when I woke it up the following morning I had no sound; the “iFi HD+ USB Audio” icon was missing from the “Sound” dialog box and I had to restart my system, or disconnect / reconnect the DAC, to get it back.
I contacted iFi Support and quickly received the following reply, “this is the standard behaviour of the device relating to the default audio source and with PC sleep mode,” which was disappointing to say the least.
The supplied USB3 cable is good quality and about 45cm/1.5ft long, and while that’s great if you’re connected to a notebook, it’s a bit tight if you’re using a mid to full size tower, where the rear USB3 ports tend to be on the upper half of the case; I replaced mine with a 1m/3ft cable.
There’s no On/Off switch; if you want to switch the unit off you have to do so at the wall socket, or pull the power connector, or the USB cable if you’re not using the optional PSU, from the back which is less than ideal.
WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE
A “pinhole” LED, like those used beside the “Power Match” and “Truebass” switches, on the face of the volume control would be a nice addition for people like me who listen to music, or work on their computers, at night with the lights out.
CONCLUSIONS
As far as just the sound quality is concerned this is EASILY a 5 Star product, but I knocked a Star off for the tech issues above, YMMV.

Top Preis-Leistungsgert. Sehr gute Soundwiedergabe. Bei Hoch-Ohmigen Kopfhrern empfiehlt sich die Kombination mit dem Zen Ca
Nearly perfect. Love the sound and features. The truebass is surprising good, and it’s so nice to toggle on and off depending on the song. Bottom line is that it’s an amazing DAC. The amp portion is also very good, though I still use and prefer my separate THX AAA headphone amp.
I’m very impressed by the improvement in sound quality and depth provided by the iFI Zen Dac v2.
Got this to connect laptop to stream Amazon Music on HD through an Echo Studio speaker. Sounds absolutely amazing. Studio speaker too big for desk though so now just using a Echo 4th Gen: still sounds incredible. Well worth it.
Perfecto DAC de escritorio para PC, decodifica musica MQA de TIDAL de forma perfecta, la musica se escucha mejor con este producto, tienes que agregar unos buenos audifonos .
Lo ped para envio a Per y lleg rpido.
I bought this to get better sound when using headphones to listen to music from my XPS 13 laptop. I typically use iTunes for source material and listen using either Sennheiser HD 280 Pro / HD 380 Pro or Grado SR125. I haven’t listened to other DACs/headphone amps before so can’t compare to other such units, but can attest to the STUNNING improvement over the 3.5mm headphone output on my XPS 13. Nothing short of life-changing!
Subjectively, as a consumer of other high-end electronics (I consider myself an audiophile and generally seek high-quality products via extensive research), this unit seems well designed and solidly built. Buttons and nobs feel good, input/outputs are thoughtfully laid out. iFi website information and documentation also appears very complete and reflects a high level of engineering and industry/technology knowledge.
Very impressive and high quality unit. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an inexpensive way to improve laptop audio quality.
I am listening to this iFi Zen on a pair of HiFiMans Sundara’s, with a balanced cable, and for the money spent, its an incredible combo. If you are looking for the best audio experience for under $600, this combo will not be beat.
Oh, ALSO, the bass button is great. Some songs need it, others don’t, so its great to have the quick toggle within arm’s reach. Excellent integrated pre-amp bass boost.
The quality of the material here is excellent too, and the volume knob feels premium and smooth.
The only downside some may have is the housing design, but thats a subjective take.
Ultimately, do you want balanced output for your phones? Then get this. I should note, that phones don’t need balanced output and its basically just a luxury that allows more power delivery, not more sound quality.
It sounds amazing
only cons are that it bypasses windos volume control
and theres no way to switch output from speaker to headphones
you just have to turn off your speakers
but im super happy with this thing after all its the sound that maters
Was expecting this DAC to be good value for money but was pleasantly surprised just how good it is. Powers my (Shure SRH 1840) headphones without any problems and easy to connect up to either IPad/IPhone or pc.
Well designed and surprisingly well built for such a device at this price point. Audio quality is nicely balanced with good clarity and dynamics. There are better DACs but I think you would have to pay much more to match the performance of this little wonder. Must be a candidate for one of the best value audio products I have ever brought.
I purchased the ifi Zen dac, primarily to improve the sound of the new Eris 3 pc monitor speakers. This it did with resulting noticeable improvement in most every aspect of the sound performance in the small pc monitor speakers. Now, comes the kicker. After hooking up my YBA integrated amp (audiophile quality) via some good quality RCA cables to the ifi Zen dac with LSA bookshelf speakers, the sound is in fact overall better than using the YBA integrated amp and YBA cd player ( both $1500 stereo components ). Even at low volume levels, details to recordings are being revealed like never before. In fact the ifi Zen dac has given my reference stereo system with the YBA separates and the LSA bookshelf speakers a new lease of life. Streaming from spotify and youtube is so much easier to load and play music with so little effort. The LSA speakers garnered so much praise in the audiophile press a decade ago. By adding the ifi Zen dac , the speakers are almost spookily coherent up an down the frequency range. All in all, this ifi Zen dac , though not cheap, provides value driven ROI for your sound needs. So much so it will put a smile on the face of even the most picky audio enthusiast.
Also die Soundqualitt ist hervorragend.
Wobei ich sagen muss, dass ich bei Ausgabe ber ein weiteres Gert einen Delay feststellen konnte, welchen ich mit meiner vorherigen Soundkarte nicht hatte. Also beim zocken ist ncihts zu merken!
(Das ist bei der Audiospiegelung in der Valve Index VR-Brille und nervt dabei, so dass ich dann immer die Soundkarte wechsel)
Sonst sieht das Gert robust aus.
Es hat viele Anschlsse.
Aber noch ein Nachteil ist, dass die Lautstrke nicht ber die Windows Lautstrke geregelt werden kann, sondern nur vom Abspielprogramm oder am manuellen Regler.
Ist eben ein Digital-Analog-Wandler + Verstrker zum hauptschlichen Benutzen mit Kopfhrern.
Fr meine Lautsprecher wechsel ich dann in Windows immer schnell das Ausgabegert also auf eine andere Soundkarte (onboard bspw.)
If you want the quickest, easiest and most affordable way to upgrade your listening experience, look no further. This is the product for you. Do you like bass? This has bags of it. Do you like crisp separation of instruments? Its got you covered. Are you a fan of enjoying music more than you previously did? This will hook you up. Buy this or buy nothing else in the price range, that simple.
Renovo totalmente mis audfonos sennheiser y unas bocinas activas Bose tambin agrad mucho el sonido, cero distorsin y ruido de fondo, excelente dac/amp
This is a great headphone amp. Well built and heavy so it doesn’t move around when you do. You can read about all of the technical aspects and watch YouTube videos reviewing it. My issue was that I ordered a balanced cable to replace the terrible short unbalanced cable that came with my Focal Celeste phones because my Zen Dac V2 provides the choice. The unbalanced output jack was perfect. The balanced 4.4mm jack was finicky. I had to play with the plug to get it to seat correctly, as the sound would go in and out. Amazon is delivering a replacement tomorrow. I’ll update after I get the new one to make sure it all works properly and it was just a quirk of my unit.
Amazing product, can’t be beaten at this price point. I’m using it with my pc for mainly music(tidal hi+) and for gaming as well. Pair it with some decent headphones shp9500 or hd560s and enjoy things you haven’t heard before.
Connected this to my iPad Pro and old marantz pm84mk2amp to play Apple Music.
Redownloaded my music in hi res and the sound is brilliant. Thinking of getting the ipowerx now.
Im using this DAC connected to a mini pc running Volumio so I can access Tidal connect. Works well and does full MQA unfold so get all the high resolution tracks through to my hifi. Sounds great, just sits there and does its thing, no problems at all. Would recommend it if your planning on doing something similar. Great value for money and we’ll built!
I purchased this back in December 21. It did not come with power plug. I went to the store and bought one and using that one the sound sounded very congested. I ordered a jamco 5 volt power chord. Sound opened up and it’s improved greatly. If you decide to get a new 3.0 USB I bought five of them and found that Amazon worked the best.
This is an excellent DAC for music, movies and gaming.
100% recommend it, just be aware that the internal amp tops out at 300 wats so depending on the headphones you have you may need to pair it with the ZEN CAN amp.
The ordering experience was excellent I have no complaints about it.
El DAC es robusto y de una construcion solida. A diferencia a otros no he tenido problemas de fiabilidad. El control de volumen es preciso. El sonido es muy neutro: ni frio, ni calido como realista pero no chillon. Me gusta el sonida por que es neutro y clara sin ser frio. Me hubeira gustado un boton de encender/apagar y un boton de selecionar entre salida de alta voces y auriculares…pero por el precio no puedo quejarme. Estoy bastante contento con las compra.
Funktioniert gut mit meinem iPhone und Laptop! Guter Sound fr wenig Geld.

Connectivity is easy and once you get up and running sound quality is good. I have many 16/44.1, 24/96, 24/192, and DSF albums that I stream regularly with no decode issues.
I combined this with the iFi Xen Stream – And the software for the Stream is not super smart and appears to have issues with Android 12. I couldn’t follow setup instructions as printed. I did contact tech support and their solution was for me to use another device to setup and use. DAC is solid and can be used PC direct or with other devices. No issues with the DAC and not planning to buy others due to sound or decode issues.
Support ticket system is lame, and the support I received was more of a blow off than constructive debug & problem solving.
An amazing DAC/amp combo that will power most headphones easily. Inclusion of balanced headphone and balanced output for this price is a bonus. Everything sounds good on this unit. If you want something that works great, this is for you.
Previously I had eperience only with fiio k5 and fiio k3 in this price range. iFi ZEN DAC V2 together with HD 650 provides much better sound quality for my taste. “Truebass” feature is extremely useful with HD650 if you are missing some low frequencies in a track. For this scenario with just a headphones you don’t need any external power supply.
The only problem is with RCA line out connection to a power amplifier – there is a noise coming from +5V USB power supply. It can be significantly improved by using external power source but not eliminated completely
For the price this is a real giant killer. I bought this on a whim, thinking it could hold me over in case my other DAC/amp ever needed to be sent away for service. That other unit is the Naim DAC-V1, which went for about $3,000 new. I was surprised to find that in some ways the Zen sounds superior to the Naim. The Zen, in comparison, has a more natural, analog sound that is less fatiguing to my ears, with better detail in the highs, and a dead quiet noise floor. On the other hand, Compared to the Naim, the Zen has less definition in the bass and is not as dynamic. Overall, I prefer the sound of the Zen over the Naim. I’ve ordered a power supply for the Zen and hope that it will improve the bass and dynamic punch. For headphones I’m using the Focal Stellia, which is very efficient and doesn’t require much power.
The downside, which for me is pretty significant, is that there is frequently clicking sounds when I listen to Tidal through Audirvana. The clicking is made worse when I browse the internet while listening. Clicking noises happen without fail at the beginnings of tracks, and are prolonged on MQA tracks. Also I’ve found that gapless playback doesn’t work when streaming from Tidal. I haven’t encountered this issue when using my Naim DAC/amp with Tidal, which suggests that the issue is not with Tidal, but is an issue with the Zen. Will Ify put out a fix to this, e.g. through a driver update? I wonder if the more expensive Ify products have the same issue. It’s an issue I can’t live with, hence my 4-star rating.
Ich dachte zuerst – “so etwas braucht man doch eigentlich gar nicht – welchen Unterschied kann das schon machen”, ohje wie falsch ich hier lag – ich dachte mein relativ teures Mainboard oder auch mein kleiner USB AMP wren voll ausreichen. Aber Pustekuchen, der Zen DAC hat mein Musikerlebnis wirklich massiv verbessert! Die Bass-Funktion ist ebenfalls mega. Die Verarbeitung des Gertes ist ebenfalls TOP!
Ich bin sehr glcklich dies einmal testweise bestellt zu haben – es bleibt auf jeden Fall!
P.S. Genutzt an einem Beyerdynamic Dt 990 250 Ohm
Sounds amazing, works perfectly as expected – amazing quality
This is one of those products that you buy once and hope it will last you (and based on it’s quality, it will)
If this did somehow miraculously break (once again, i bet this will last)- i would happy buy another, it really is a great product for the price
Overall this is a great headphone amp. I compared it to a Schiit Hel and an old Headroom amp I built myself 25 years ago. The bass boost might sound distorted on some headphones (YMMV). At least it did on my 20-year-old Grado SR125 headphones. I’m going to buy new headphones soon to try on this amp. Only one con: There is a left-right tracking problem on low volume so I have to keep it on low gain to get the volume pot up a bit. That’s my one star off. Otherwise it is a nice dac/amp that works with my iPad over the lightning port. I use it for bedtime listening but with the iPad, Zen, power adapter, and cables this is a bulky mess on my night stand. Also note you will need to buy a longer USB 3 cable if you are putting this next to your source (pc, usb transport, whatever). Note it uses the 3.0 version of the B type plug. Check photos so you know what cable to buy. A 2.0 B plug will not work, but I haven’t tried and will not try.
You won’t find another DAC/amp combo with MQA support at this price! The lack of remote is annoying if you, like me, are picky about volume. The lows are strong but the highs lack a bit of clarity. The coloured LED to show sampling rate is cute, but obviously a proper digital display is easier to read. Despite these minor shortcomings I would have given it 5 stars except for the stupidly short USB3.0 type B cable. Sitting on top of my full tower, the cable would not reach the USB ports in the back! Using an uncommon connector and giving people a 1-foot cable was a poor choice, I shouldn’t be forced to buy a new USB cable with a device. Just use USB ‘C’ already!
I was using a dragon fly black and a cyru sound key before with my pair of senns559 even with these budget friendly headphones I can notice a big improvement I game and listen to Spotify and qobuz can’t wait to upgrade my headphones would definitely recommend
Excellent DAC. Should you for some reason need an even better one, prepare to pay en extra 1k usd.
Me lleg en perfecto estado y al siguiente da, lo uso para escuchar tanto Tidal y Qobuz en mi equipo. Qu ms decir… se escucha increblemente bien, una maravilla.
I am honestly surprised at the quality of this dac/amp, as well as the features. I was not expecting to enjoy the power match and true bass features, because they are game changers. These features are so great to have and play around with. This EASILY replaces my SoundblasterX G6 (which I thought was great). This dac/amp is more powerful than the G6 as well. This powers my Sundaras no problem (which are a somewhat hard to drive set of cans), and get almost to the point of being uncomfortably loud at max volume WITHOUT the power match on. With the power match on, they become too loud at the 3pm location. Great quality materials and volume knob. Plus, it can push power to both the unbalanced and balanced ports at the same time, so dual listening is a hidden feature I didn’t know of. Sound quality is great too, and I only use the USB connection to my PC.
Only con that I personally accepted from other reviews is that you cannot control the volume via Windows. That’s okay with me because I setup the dac/amp close to me on top of my desk to the left side for easy reach.
Get this…. at the price I paid (which at the time was the increased price to $189) I felt was still an amazing deal. If anything changes or happens with it I’ll update this review.
My headphones aren’t hard to drive (Grado SR80e) but I needed a decent DAC and volume control my work desk and this does the job nicely. Absolutely no complaints but ifi products are always excellent anyway
Extremely happy with the performance and sound that is greatly enhanced with this device. No regrets here at all!
I was without a audiophile DAC relying on my Audioengine D1 to push my LCD-X which were horrible.
The second I plugged into this bad boy, the sound stage made me feel like I was transported waiting for some content. Loaded up some Tidal masters and I was sold on this guy.
Cant recommend this any more.
Update. A month later and it is sounding absolutely superb. I was curious to find out just how good it is so I took it down to try in a family members very expensive system with 4000 pound speakers and a 2000 pound amp! It was being compared using tidal against a chord dac (about 2000) and an inbuilt amp dac (500 ish?).
Held its own with arguably the best bass control. Slightly less top end. Slightly less detail. Best vocals as well. Splitting hairs though. Ultimately they each sounded different rather than better or worse. Firmware 7.3 and 7.3c sound different too. In my system I prefer 7.3c (smoother) but definitely 7.3 without the filter (brighter) in the expensive system. To compete against stuff at that price in an expensive hifi system is seriously impressive.
I bought this as an upgrade to my dragonfly red 1st generation. I use it my with Adam audio T5V studio monitors connected to PC.
The dragonfly still sounds good but my monitors are prone to background noise and you get a whine sometimes. The zen DAC is supposed to provide better isolation. It is after all much bigger so all the chips are not crammed into one area.
This needs quite a lot of burn in time. If you’ve come from a headphone output of a laptop or phone then straight away it will sound good. Much better. But compared to what I was getting from the dragonfly red it sounded compressed and less detailed. After about 15 hours of use they were comparable and by 30 hours this is now superior especially in the bass clarity. There is a lot of clarity. Instruments sound realistic and we’ll defined. The sound is also lively and toe tapping. Sometimes you will almost find too much detail, it will show up the quality of the original recording. Overall a very enjoyable listen and more substantial sounding than the red. I find the headphone output is higher quality than the RCA (better sound) so run a 3.5mm to RCA out of the headphone jack which is what I was previously using anyhow. Main downside is that the volume control in Windows does nothing. This is not a fault. You can download a volume control easy enough that allows you to adjust individual program volume with 2 clicks and I just drag the slider to my music app to adjust it. That’s a shame and I hear that the first generation doesn’t do that. This 2 does have a faster clock and Bur brown chip which is what provides the DAC conversion so i think the volume control compromise is worth it. Or you can just use it’s own volume control to change the volume. Less easy if using speakers.

Ich kenne mich mit solchen Gerten wirklich berhaupt nicht aus hab jedoch einen richtigen Profi um Rat gebeten und der DAC ist sehr gut.
Sieht auf meinen Schreibtisch wunderbar aus und ist leicht einzustellen.
Das iFi Audio Device Control Panel ist hier ein muss und dafr gibt es auch einen link beim Zettel der dabei liegt.
10/10 Sehr sehr gerne wieder der Unterschied ist gewaltig bei “guten” Kopfhrern wie den DT 990 Pro. 4,4mm Klinkenstecker ist hier ebenfalls empfehlenswert denn “Balanced” klingt noch mal einen Tick besser :).
Really nice DAC/Amp all in one .
Didn’t bother with the mains adapter ,I just run mine off a powered USB hub
Powers my 250ohm DT990’s perfectly.I also run 80ohm DT770’s and other lower impedance headphones just fine
I guess if you have 600 ohm headphones you might want either the power supply or a separate amp but it’s great for what I have
Muy buen producto lo mejor para iniciar en escuchar msica de digital a analgico, lo nico malo que han inflado su precio demasiado ltimamente lo he recomendado amigos y familiares pero por su precio a como yo lo compre no han efectuado la compra por estar elevado su precio
This is a great DAC, sound is fantastic and can be better if powered by a low noise supply this is a high build quality device cannot be beaten for value
My first dac and monitors ( krk rokit 5 g4)
The clarity and the detail it’s 20 times better than avarage speakers, i hear things that i wasn’t hearing with normal consumer speakers.
Amazing for gaming aswell.
Bass boost button it’s nice to have and the volume knob is soo smooth.i recommend
