iFi Zen DAC v2

This made a HUGE difference to the sound quality from my laptop. I was thinking "How did I live without this for so long?"
If you play music from your laptop and need a high quality DAC and preamp for powered desktop monitors or bookshelf speakers, something like this is a MUST. The Zen DAC v2 was the most versatile and high quality option for me.

Hey there, thank you for the great review and ratings! So delighted that you are loving your purchase. Hope you had a comfortable shopping experience. Cheers!

Excellent DAC, Needs additional amplifier

I am using this equipment to power my Hifiman Sundara, and it is working as expected. I have tried both the balanced as well as the unbalanced output from this DAC and they both work as expected.

The truebass feature is very subtle, and more prominent when using the balanced output. I really liked it, the bass doesn't get overpowering at all, but gets deeper and lingers a bit more than the normal output.

Not one of the affordable DAC, costing at around 17k, but does it's job very well.

One must pair it with ifi Zen Can, to get the best experience, as I would be doing, once I get my next month's salary.

The pairing of the Zen DAC + Zen Can + Sundara is highly recommended and should serve good to people who likes more of the neutral tone in their music.

Hey ANUJIT, thank you so much for the amazing feedback! It means a lot to us. We are so happy to hear that you are loving our products and services.

well balanced DAC

Awesome sound also works with Playstation 5.
Out of the box it sounds awesome
True bass reduce details a little bit but not much can be useful woth open back headphones.
There are some issue which are not significant
1 led indicator,it can be confusing it is green for PCM which should not be rhe case
2 usb cable is small
3 No power button

Overall best DAC in this price you can not go wrong with it.

Hey Gurpreet, thank you so much for the awesome review!

Good Dac

Very nutrally sounding dac ,a good match with zen streamer. It's a pretty good headphone amplifier too(can't get at this price point).led indicators would have been more specific for specific frequency like Chord mojo. Anyway this is not an issue. Spaces between two or multiple intruments in the soundstage could have been just a touch better and the edges of the instruments should have had a little more sharpness, what I feel. It's a very good match with bright system

We really appreciate the genuine feedback, we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well!

Immediate improvement

I have a fiio bluetooth/usb dac BTR1K.
My pc has a pretty good on board audio card.

But the difference is immediately perceptible.

On my corsair headset and moondrop chu, the sound feels like it's playing from further away with instruments spaced apart. The clarity and dynamics of the sound improved so much.

Absolutely so pleased with my purchase and so excited to start my audiophile journey with this DAC. I was very unsure whether I'd be able to make out any perceptible difference, I was not expecting to hear SO MUCH!!

Hey Gaurav, thanks a lot for this lovely review and we are glad you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.

You need 'Truebass' in your Life!

I've paired this with a Sennheiser HD6XX. Sounds phenomenal in my opinion is just want I need at the moment and I do not look forward to upgrade anytime soon.

Works flawlessly and Headphone zone's delivery was topnotch as usual.

Thank you Raghav and team!

Can't recommend this product

The separation is really poor, bass just dissapers from the mix when busy passages are played. I used bit perfect lossless files and a 2021 lcd x for testing.

I bought this DAC a few months after buying Shanling UA1 pro and Astell and Kern XB10. The UA1 was not able drive my Final E 3000 well and my CCA CA4 sounded very harsh with them. The IFI Zen DAC is able to drive them well and doesn't make any of my headphone/IEM sound harsh. The XB10 being a bluetooth dac doesn't let me experience hi res music.
The sound is very detailed and a bit warm. The bass boost is decent and not very overpowering.
One thing I noticed was that the colour of the LEDs doesn't change after changing the source of music. It shows the same color for Apple Music Lossless and other lossy services such as YouTube Music, Spotify etc.
Headphone Zone,as usual delivered them within a day. Although the box had no plastic cover or seal, I feel I got an unboxed version. Since it is working well, I kept it.

This makes us really happy and we really appreciate the genuine feedback! We're glad that you have such positive thoughts about our product and the company.

Nice little DAC

This is my first DAC and when I connect it to my system after I received it from headphones zone , I was a little disappointed , so I googled and found out it need burn in time . After burning in for a good few hundred hour , the sound has change tremendously . Bass is well extended and the high are crisp . The sound signature is a bit warm . After loading the new GTO firmware , the sound become much better than before . A 5 volt power supply is needed when connected to a mobile phone as it improve the sound by a big margin , the gain is marginal with USB from computer . Overall a thumbs up from me .

We appreciate the genuine feedback and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well.

🏠 For Audiophiles at Home

We’ve always loved the ritual of coming home, settling into my favourite chair, and firing up a dedicated setup. Gear labelled For Audiophiles at Home is made for those moments when you can really sit back and appreciate music in its purest form 🛋️. These products tend to be more powerful, larger, and often require wall power perfect for a stationary rig.


Here’s the trade off: these setups often involve external DACs, amps, or full size headphones, which means more space, more power, but also more immersive listening. They shine when used in quiet environments, where detail, depth, and dynamics can truly be appreciated.


When you see '🏠 For Audiophiles at Home' products, expect: exceptional fidelity, stronger output, and the kind of soundstage that makes you never want to leave your listening chair.

🔗 Connect With Cable

In our experience, there’s still nothing like the dependability of a wired connection when it comes to audio 🎧. We love describing it as the direct flight of music no delays, no turbulence. When a product says “Connect with Cable,” it means you’re getting the most reliable signal path, with zero wireless compression and minimal interference.


Here’s what’s actually happening: a physical cable transmits uncompressed analog or digital signals directly from your source to your gear. This results in lower latency, no signal drops, and consistently better sound especially when paired with a good DAC or amp. It’s ideal for critical listening, gaming, and professional use. The trade off? You’re tethered but for a lot of audiophiles, that’s a small price to pay for sonic purity.


When you see '🔗 Connect With Cable' products, expect: pure, uninterrupted sound quality that lets your gear perform at its full potential perfect for focused, high fidelity listening.

🪖 Built like a Tank

Durability concerns? Rest assured 💪.


We tend to describe these products as audio equipment that's built to survive anything you can throw at them. These headphones incorporate high grade metal components and reinforced design elements that ensure they can handle demanding conditions while maintaining structural integrity. Think of them as the military grade vehicles of the audio world over engineered for reliability and built to last decades, not just years.


The metal construction provides exceptional strength and longevity while contributing to a premium feel that serious audio enthusiasts appreciate. Whether you're a professional who needs reliable daily use equipment or someone who values long term investment in audio gear 🏗️.


When you encounter "🪖 Built like a Tank" products, expect unmatched robustness and durability you can count on for years of intensive use.


Why it Sounds Amazing

⚙️ DAC Chip

We like to say the DAC chip is the heart of any audio device it’s the part that actually transforms digital files into music you can hear 🎧. Think of it like a chef decoding a recipe to create a delicious meal. The better the DAC chip, the more faithfully it translates your music. And in my experience, a great DAC can completely change how your headphones sound.


Now, here’s what’s actually happening: a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) takes digital signals (your MP3s, FLACs, or streams) and converts them into an analog waveform your ears can enjoy. Different DAC chips like those from ESS, AKM, or Cirrus Logic offer their own sound signatures, levels of clarity, and noise performance. A good DAC ensures accurate timing, minimal distortion, and exceptional resolution.


When you see '⚙️ DAC Chip' products, expect: clean, detailed audio and better synergy with high quality headphones perfect for anyone upgrading from average sound to audiophile quality.

🚀 Power Output

We like to think of power output in audio gear like engine horsepower, it determines how much muscle your setup really has 💪. Whether you’re trying to drive a pair of power hungry planar headphones or just want headroom for dynamic peaks, power output is the spec you want to check first.


Technically, it refers to the amount of electrical power (measured in mW or Watts) an amp or DAC/Amp combo can deliver to your headphones. More power means better control, improved dynamics, and the ability to handle demanding gear without distortion. But more isn’t always better, too much power with sensitive IEMs can introduce hiss or harshness.


When you see '🚀 Power Output' products, expect: strong driving capability, better dynamics, and optimal performance with headphones that need serious juice to shine.


⚖️ Balanced Output

We often say balanced output is like using both hands to carry something heavy it distributes power evenly and keeps things stable. In audio gear, balanced output helps reduce unwanted noise and interference, especially over longer cables. Think of it as a cleaner, more efficient way to transmit your music, ideal for anyone using high end DACs, amps, or studio grade headphones 🎧. You’ll typically find it on gear with XLR or 4.4mm connectors, and it's a must have if you’re chasing that ultra clean signal path.


Here’s what’s actually happening: a balanced output uses two separate signals, one inverted, so when interference is picked up along the cable, it gets cancelled out when the signals are recombined. The result? Cleaner audio, better dynamic range, and more power output especially when paired with balanced headphones. The trade off? You’ll need gear that supports balanced connections on both ends to really enjoy the benefits.


When you see '⚖️ Balanced Output' products, expect: ultra low noise, more headroom, and better synergy with high impedance headphones or sensitive IEMs ideal for serious listening setups.

🔬 Decodes Upto

When We see "Decodes up to" listed in product specs, We think of it like a music translator that speaks more languages than you’ll ever need. It tells you how far a DAC or audio device can go in handling hi res formats think PCM, DSD, or MQA and at what resolution. 🧠🎶


Technically, this refers to the maximum bit depth and sample rate a DAC can process like 32 bit/768kHz PCM or DSD512. The higher these numbers, the more detailed and lifelike the audio can potentially sound. But remember, real world improvements depend on the recording quality and your headphones, not just specs alone.

Once you go BurrBrown everything else will only let you down. The ZEN DAC V2 is a worthy follow-up to the extremely popular ZEN DAC, one of our yesteryear favourites. A perfect DAC/Amp if you're boarding the audiophile express.
