About this deal

At Peter Tyson we pride ourselves on prompt, efficient delivery. Please note that the daily cut off time for all next day delivery services is 3pm. I would love to upgrade my Cord Mojo to an Chord Hugo 2 (that's my next hi-fi upgrade) but right now I can not afford to which makes me sad. The volume knob is perhaps the best one I've used so so far, very smooth and not cheap feeling. The usual lower volume imbalance on most Amps is so minimal it not noticeable. The four step gain is a welcome feature Xbass is well implemented and ads a tasteful amount of bass, details without over doing it. The 3D effect gives a little more openness to the sounds boost the mids and treble slightly as well, it should be noted that these are not filters but an analog circuit. All products sold on Headphone Zone carry a GST compliant invoice and all products sold include an 18% GST.

On the new version, MQA can be signified by either a Green or Blue LED on the front of the DAC, as well as Magenta, bringing to light (no pun intended) a sensational new feature.Since this thing has no power button, it will power off with my PC or maybe i will unplug the USB on a non-IEM day. The bass boost is awesome, it doesn't make your midbass bloaty, it adds a nice shelf with solid low-end.

ZEN DAC by iFi audio - Super-affordable DAC/amp from iFi audio

If you already have the zen dac v1 i find it not worthy to buy the second version unless Tidal and the mqa technology are important for you, if thats the case, i can fully recommend the Zen dac V2 because the performance using MQA and tidal is exceptional and achieves its main purpose. Attachments Over the last couple of years, the Zen DAC has become the affordable centerpiece of many a headphone rig, and it’s held up pretty well. There still aren’t many devices that do what it does for the price. Since the very first iPHONO launched in 2012, we have used our own in-house ‘Subsonic Filter’. It made it into the iPHONO2 and the iPHONO3 and now, the ZEN Phono which is the very first time this filter is seen in such an affordable price level. Yeah, I was one of those kids. I passed first semester Ear Training in a single week. I have always had the ear for the subtleties in music. One of the more basic exercises is a simple tuning test. The subject must listen to a series of pitches all within a few 'cents' of each other, and must match them exactly with no assistance. Only your ear can be your tool. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is supported through the USB with full decoding of MQA files up to 384kHz thanks to the processing power of the new 16-core XMOS chip.My set up was using the RCA output at fixed gain connected to Yamaha RXV757 at the aux input. Pristine sound is amplified and is heaven to experience for music lovers. Not shown is the imaging test conducted at 44.1 khz. A single 19khz tone at 0db intensity will image a tone at 25.1 khz, above the Nyquist cutoff. The 25.1 khz aliased image was suppressed by over 90db. So if you have DACs already in your devices, why should you consider buying another? Well, for better sound quality. DACs – essentially tiny chips that convert the audio before it is output through the device’s, say, 3.5mm audio port – often aren’t high quality in such multi-tasking devices, so getting yourself a good, dedicated external DAC device that can more accurately convert digital to analogue, and thus savour more of a stored music file or stream’s data in the process, will make a huge difference to the music listening experience.
