DAC Chip
You may not even realise it, but most of us use a digital-to-analogue converter (commonly known as a DAC) daily. Built into your computers, tablets and smartphones, a DAC is fundamental to unlocking the convenience of digital music. Any device that acts as a digital sound source will need a DAC to convert digital audio to analog. A DAC converts the digital information stored in “0s and 1s” into an analog signal that's passed to speakers or headphones and ultimately our ear. In short, DACs play a large part in making digital music hearable. 

While this technical process is undoubtedly impressive, the DAC embedded into your smartphones or laptops is nowhere good enough to listen to your favourite music recordings in high quality. So, if you want to listen to music in high quality, an external DAC is essential to allow headphones or speakers to perform at their potential. An external DAC, first and foremost, will improve audio quality dramatically.
If you want to add Bluetooth connectivity to your system, it doesn’t get better than Zen Air Blue. This device assures rock-solid connectivity without compromising audio quality.

New Life to Old Music System

First a big thank you to Headphone Zone for delivering the product in record time (by next day).
As we are constantly evolving from LP to cassette to cd to mp3 to streaming, with these kind of devises our old wonderful sounding hi-fi, home theater get a new lease of life.
Since iFi Audio Zen Air Blue supports nearly all Bluetooth codes, it's future proof. Though there are cheaper alternatives (I tried) no match.
And regarding sound you have to listen to believe. It's simply fantastic. The sound stage is neutral. Separation of each instrument is clear and well spaced. Only downside it doesn't come with power adopter.(as per the trend)
It is a must buy.

Zen Air Blue

Does what it says on the tin. Was easy to connect and used the higher bitrate. Reasonably up-to date BT standard and no frills, exactly what I was looking for. A headphone jack would have been useful and type c or even mini-usb instead of the round power inlet - but these are minor niggles and I am happy with it. Not competent to assess "audiophile" quality, but I have no complaints about the quality of sound.

Thank you for your genuine feedback on this product, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product.
