ZEN Air DACImprove the quality of your everyday audio with the ZEN Air DAC.DAC stands for Digital to Analogue converter. In a nutshell, a DAC converts the digital info in your source device – your computer, games console, tablet, or smartphone –  to music that we can hear through speakers or headphones.Every device that is a source of digital sound has a built-in DAC. External DACs sound much better than the standard DACs used inside these devices.Simply betterThe ZEN Air DAC functions as both a DAC and a headphone amp. It’s a great first step if you are just starting on your audio journey.Simply connect it to your computer or smart device via a USB cable.  Then connect it to your headphones via the headphone jack at the front or to speakers via the RCA connections at the back.If you already have an amp, you can use the ZEN DAC Air as a pure DAC with this amp or speakers.Flexible formatsThe ZEN Air DAC supports different file formats – PCM 32bit/384kHz, fully native DSD256, and MQA.PCM – Pulse Code Modulation is the file format used in CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and other digital audio applications. It’s the next step up from MP3.DSD – Direct Stream Digital is a very high-quality audio format, better than CD quality. The higher the number (sample rate), the better the recording – DSD64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024. Fully native means that it hasn’t been altered in any way from the original recording.MQA – Master Quality Authenticated is an award-winning audio technology that enables music fans to stream the original master recording into their home, car, or their mobile. With the ZEN Air DAC, you can listen to MQA straight out of the box. Simply connect to Tidal Masters and check the option to stream MQA. Sonic tailoringThe ZEN Air DAC also sports a couple of unique sonic tweaks from iFi.PowerMatch adjusts the gain of the ZEN DAC Air so it functions at the right level for your headphones. Gain is just a unit of measurement that indicates how loud an audio source is and is measured in decibels (dB).XBass+ allows you to tailor the bass to suit your headphones and your personal taste.Both are designed to improve and personalize your listening experience.And breathe…Most DACs still use digital volume control – ours is analogue.What does this mean? When you reduce the volume on other DACs you remove data from the song or soundtrack. With analogue volume control, you reduce the volume whilst maintaining the quality.Put simply, the ZEN Air DAC is an easy way to experience super clear hi-res audio quality in your everyday listening.Sift through the noise, and breathe in the Air. Technical SpecsInput voltageDC 5V/2.5AInputUSB2.0 B SocketFormats44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192/352.8/384kHz PCM2.8/3.1/5.6/6.2/11.2/12.4MHz DSD353/384KHz DXDMQADACBit-Perfect DSD & DXD DAC by Burr BrownPower consumptionNo Signal ~0.5W / Max Signal ~2.5WDimensions158 x 117 x 35 mm6.2" x 4.6" x 1.4"Net weight315 g0.694 lbsLine SectionOutput1V / 3.3V max.Output Impedance≤50ΩSNR<-113dB(A) @ 0dBFSDNR>113dB(A) @ -60dBFSTHD+N<0.04% @ 0dBFSHeadphone SectionOutput1V / 3.3V max.
