iFi ZEN BLUE V2

iFi ZEN BLUE V2 — The ultimate Bluetooth DAC and receiver

Streaming music wirelessly has its challenges, but the iFi ZEN Blue V2 solves the problem of sound quality and connection reliability. With support for all major codecs such as aptX HD, LDAC and AAC, this Bluetooth 5.0 DAC allows you to play music in the highest possible quality that Bluetooth allows. An improved antenna increases the range by up to 80%, ensuring a more stable connection even in challenging environments. With ESS Sabre technology and precise iFi GMT clock, it delivers sound that is clear, stable and comparable to a wired connection.

State-of-the-art Bluetooth technology

The iFi ZEN Blue V2 supports all major Bluetooth codecs, from standard SBC to high-quality formats such as LDAC and aptX Adaptive, meaning you'll always connect in the best possible quality for your device. The Qualcomm QCC5100 Bluetooth chip takes care of data reception, while a separate ESS Sabre DAC with HyperStream architecture ensures top-quality conversion from digital to analog signal.

Flexible connectivity

The device offers a wide range of outputs, making it compatible with most Hi-Fi systems. There are 4.4 mm balanced output and RCA stereo output for analog connection. For digital output, you have the option of using S/PDIF optical or coaxial output, which ensures maximum flexibility for connecting to different types of amplifiers and speakers. A switch between analog and digital output adds to user comfort.
