Reviews

Me gustó mucho... Ya tengo el IFI ONE Signature + el IFI CAN V2 Signature

En este precio, no he encontrado nada que compita con el Zen Dac v2. Además, con salidas balanceadas y un amplificador de auriculares bastante competente.
La sensación de espacio, el nivel de detalle y el timbre, nunca agresivo, hacen fácil emparejar el dac con cualquier equipo.
La lástima es que solo tenga entrada usb, pero para escuchar música en el ordenador, e incluso meterlo en la maleta como dac-amp portátil, es difícil encontrar algo que compita con esto por tan buen precio.
