iFi Audio Zen DAC 3 Balanced Headphone Amp & DAC

The iFi ZEN DAC 3 continues the award-winning ZEN legacy, offering an ultra-clean, powerful, and versatile DAC and headphone amplifier in one sleek, compact chassis. With support for PCM up to 768kHz, DSD512, and full MQA decoding, it delivers true studio-quality sound that brings every detail of your music to life.

Equipped with both balanced 4.4mm and single-ended 6.3mm headphone outputs, the ZEN DAC 3 powers everything from sensitive IEMs to demanding full-sized headphones. Its PowerMatch gain control optimizes output for your headphones, while XBass+ restores natural low-end warmth lost in open-back or neutral headphones.

Use it as a standalone DAC or as a DAC/preamp, connecting to active speakers, integrated amplifiers, or even stack it with the ZEN CAN for expanded performance. Powered via USB-C or an optional external power supply for purer performance, the ZEN DAC 3 offers flexible connectivity, improved circuitry, and precision analog tuning—making it the most complete USB DAC in its class.
