iFi Audio ZEN Blu V2

Chill. Relax. Enjoy

The ZEN Blue V2 is the same hi-res DAC you know and love but better! We’ve added an improved Bluetooth® antenna that will increase range by up to 80%. Just add a smartphone, tablet, PC or Mac to the ZEN Blue V2. And chillax.

Hi-Res to the NTH Degree

All current and future Bluetooth® audio formats are supported. This includes Qualcomm’s aptX and aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, aptX Adaptive, LDAC and HWA/LHDC, hi-res Bluetooth® codecs created by Sony and Huawei respectively, AAC, Apple’s favoured format and SBC, the standard Bluetooth® codec.

Not all Bluetooth is created equal

Have utter confidence in the sound quality of the ZEN Blue V2. It uses Bluetooth5.0®, the very latest version, and the newest Qualcomm 5100 chip to process all incoming Bluetooth® data. The ESS Sabre DAC chip is there to ensure an extremely smooth digital to analogue conversion.

Balanced design is truly special

The analogue output stage is balanced, not normally seen in DACs at this price point. Balanced means less noise, interference/crosstalk. It has RCA and balanced outputs at HiFi standard level; 2V SE and 4V BAL and is therefore compatible with both HiFi and Pro systems.
