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.

Metal
Build

The Zen Blue is deceptively simple but brilliant. Say you have a nice pair of speakers, the Zen Blue has a built-in DAC that brings out the best on a nice speaker set-up. But the Bluetooth streamer is the biggest USP. It uses AptXHD and LDAC to give you the Hi-Res, and the convenience of using it with your phone wirelessly is brilliant.

Best bluetooth receiver I have heard, but never a replacement for cd players

Cd manufacturers have stopped manufacturing compact disks because people have move on to other formats like blue tooth streaming for convenience. This unit is the best BT receiver you can get, but is never a replacement for cd and cd players. It is just a compromise. CD sound is far superior.
