Balanced 4.4mm Headphone Output

XBass+ is a low shelving filter that enhances low frequencies, adding more energy and excitement when your music needs extra weight. PowerMatch adjusts gain, helping more insensitive headphones come to life with the right output level.
Refined Desktop Design
The IFI ZEN Air DAC 2 features a dedicated power button, added in response to user feedback. This makes it easier to switch off your system without reaching behind your setup or disconnecting cables.
