Tech Lowdown
Special By Design The new ZEN DAC Signature V2 has been improved even further to offer an even greater listening experience. Enjoy music without any distortion or colourations. • NEW! Now full-MQA decoder • NEW! Upgraded clock circuitry • Enhanced, purist, audiophile design • Fully-balanced differential circuitry • Premium parts selection inspired by £3,000 iFi Pro range • Fully-balanced 4.
Hi-Res USB DAC ▪ NEW! 16-XMOS chip ▪ Now a FULL MQA decoder ▪ Completes all three unfolds to deliver the highest possible sound quality ▪ Handles up to PCM 384kHz and DSD256
Audio Format LEDs PCM 88.2/96/176.4/ 192/352.8/384kHz Original Sample Rate DSD 64/128 MQA Studio MQA PCM 44.
Unmatched Noise Reduction ▪ Unmatched noise reduction and resolution ▪ Boutique components ▪ Panasonic OSCON ▪ Panasonic ECPU Film capacitors ▪ ELNA Silmic
Upgraded GMT ▪ NEW! Upgraded Global Master Timing (GMT) clock circuitry ▪ Improved low-jitter clock with >20dB better performance ▪ Enhanced sonics
Pro Series | True Differential Balanced Circuit ▪ Fully-symmetrical, dual-mono signal stage ▪ Gold-plated 4.
Analogue Volume Control | Fixed Or Variable ▪ Variable - use this setting if you wish the ZEN DAC Signature V2 to control the volume of powered speakers or its volume as a preamp. ▪ Fixed - use this setting if using with downstream equipment with its own volume control. This will bypass the ZEN DAC Signature V2 as if there was a ‘straight wire’ from the digital source to the analogue amplifier.
Balanced Analogue Stage ▪ Balanced analogue circuitry design ▪ Outstanding components – including C0G capacitors from TDK ▪ Balanced analogue output via 4.
