Awards

Diapason d'Or

The number 1 in classical music and hi-fi. It is a benchmark in the field of classical music and hi-fi, as well as the distinction it awards to the best devices each year

What Hi-Fi? 5 stars

A global reference, What Hifi? is one of the most comprehensive magazines covering Home Cinema and Hifi. The "5 stars" award distinguishes the highest quality products, according to this British magazine.

Overview

This ZEN DAC V2 is the same award-winning USB Hi-Res DAC/headphone amplifier as the V1 version, but with more punch! It offers a high level of specifications and performance that exceed its super affordable price.

Thanks to the 16-core technology, it allows you to read MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording. The LED lights up in green or blue to indicate that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and indicates the provenance to ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material.

Christian

Excellent DAC for a moderate price. The only minor drawback is the lack of an on/off button, but it's not a big deal considering the quality of this device. The audio is truly chiseled to a very high level, and the design is top-notch. I highly recommend it!

Excellent DAC pour un prix modéré, seul petit bémol : l'absence d'un bouton marche/arrêt, mais bon rien de bien méchant vis-à-vis de la qualité de cet appareil. L'audio est vraiment ciselé à un très haut niveau et le design est top, je le recommande vraiment !
