About the Zen One
The iFi audio ZEN One Signature is a compact desktop DAC and Bluetooth receiver designed as a fixed-output digital hub for a hi-fi system. It accepts USB, S/PDIF coaxial/optical, and Bluetooth sources, then provides unbalanced RCA and balanced 4.4 mm Pentaconn analogue line outputs, plus a coaxial S/PDIF digital output. It uses a Burr-Brown bit-perfect DAC implementation and Qualcomm QCC5100-series Bluetooth platform. Unlike a headphone DAC/amplifier, it has no headphone output or volume control; its line-level outputs are intended for an integrated amplifier, preamplifier, active speakers, or external headphone amplifier. The manufacturer lists it on its current product site, so it is not indicated as discontinued.
