IFI ZEN Air Blue 2 Bluetooth DAC blue-black

The iFi ZEN Air Blue 2 is a Bluetooth DAC that delivers lossless wireless audio to your home Hi-Fi system. With Bluetooth 5.4 and the aptX Lossless codec, it transmits at up to 1200 kbps, letting you listen to music in genuine CD quality.

The unit uses a three-stage architecture: a Qualcomm QCC3095 chipset handles Bluetooth reception, an ESS Sabre DAC performs the digital-to-analogue conversion, and custom operational amplifiers provide the amplification. It also supports the LDAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, AAC and SBC codecs.

Its 5 to 12 V DC power compatibility means it can be installed in vehicles and battery-powered systems. It switches on automatically with car audio systems. The output is RCA, the signal-to-noise ratio is 109 dB, and distortion is below 0.005%.
