BEAUTIFULLY BALANCED

ZEN DAC 3 features two 4.4mm balanced outputs, one for headphones and one for other amplifiers, effectively minimizing distortion and crosstalk.

POWER UP, PROTECT ON!

DC offset output voltage has been improved in the ZEN DAC 3. This means less audible clicks while switching functions. ZEN DAC 3 also benefits from input over-voltage protection via the all-new USB-C port.
