iFi Audio - ZEN One Signature

iFi Audio’s ZEN One Signature is the latest USB DAC with Bluetooth connectivity. iFi Audio ZEN One Signature offers a pure listening experience with the powerful 16 core XMOS chip. This 16-core IC delivers double the clock speed (2000MIPS) and four times the memory (512KB). Apart from the XMOS chip, the ZEN One Signature is equipped with an upgraded GMT Femto-precision clock and customised digital filter to eradicate jitter and any digital distortion. Burr-Brown Hi-Res DAC chip is embedded to support 32bit/384kHz, PCM and DSD playback natively, allowing you to enjoy your music at the highest quality.

The iFi Audio ZEN One Signature features a True Native Burr-Brown chip audio architecture delivering ‘Bit-Perfect’ audio up to 32-bit/384kHz with native DSD support as well as DXD format. The iFi-programmed XMOS firmware which processes data received, combined with jitter-eradicating audiophile-grade clock, contribute to exemplary handling of digital audio signals as they are received, processed and converted to analogue form. This allows you to experience and enjoy your music in studio quality just as the artist intended.

ZEN One Signature comes equipped with the latest Qualcomm QCC 5100 series chip to support HD Bluetooth connectivity. This Qualcomm chip is paired with a High-gain antenna to ensure reliable connectivity and extended range for the best audio transmission from any source. With this chip, the ZEN One Signature offers extensive HD codec support for formats like aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, LDAC and HWA/LHDC. You also get MQA support with full decoding capability of MQA files up to 384kHz thanks to the processing power of the new 16-core XMOS chip. MQA support allows you to connect to popular services like Apple Music, Room and Tidal.

The iFi Audio ZEN One Signature comes equipped with high-grade components and features balanced circuitry. ZEN One Signature is equipped with TDK C0G, ELNA Japan Silmic II + muRata control-type, low-ESR high-Q multi-layer capacitors, Vishay MELF resistors along with Texas Instruments low-noise IC’s and Panasonic OS-CON caps to offer superior performance. It features a balanced Pentaconn 4.4mm analogue output, a single-ended RCA output, Digital Coaxial input and output along with Digital optical input and USB connectivity.
