According to iFi it is the world's first Bluetooth DAC able both to receive and to transmit CD-quality audio with the aptX Lossless codec, and it adds a wired DAC mode for desktop use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has many uses: receiving music from a phone and passing it to the amplifier, listening to a turntable on wireless headphones, or sending the sound of a TV or computer to Bluetooth headphones and earbuds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQualcomm QCC518x Bluetooth 5.4 and all the high-definition codecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Qualcomm QCC518x series chipset handles Bluetooth 5.4. With aptX Lossless, 16-bit\/44.1 kHz audio travels with no data loss, at a maximum bitrate of 1,200 kbps; LDAC and LHDC\/HWA reach 24-bit\/96 kHz. aptX Adaptive, aptX, AAC and SBC are supported too, and the Bluetooth module can be updated over the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor films and games, Low Latency mode, used with a receiver that supports aptX Low Latency, drastically reduces the delay between picture and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSeparate stages for Bluetooth, conversion and output\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of the usual single chip that does everything, the ZEN Blue 3 follows the architecture of a hi-fi component: the Qualcomm chip handles the Bluetooth signal, a dedicated ESS Sabre DAC converts it to analogue and an output stage with iFi's OV series op-amps takes it to the sockets. The femto-precision GMT clock keeps jitter under control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStated dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio are 109 dB. There are two analogue outputs: balanced 4.4 mm, with 4.1 V RMS, and RCA, with 2.05 V RMS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDAC mode via USB-C and S\/PDIF, inputs for transmission\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ZEN Blue 3 also works as a wired DAC: it accepts up to 24-bit\/96 kHz from the USB-C port and up to 24-bit\/192 kHz from the optical and coaxial S\/PDIF inputs. When transmitting, it sends over Bluetooth the signal coming from USB, optical, coaxial or the analogue RCA input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is powered from the USB-C port or a 5 V input. It weighs 447 g and comes with an RCA cable, a USB-A to USB-C cable and a power adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ifi Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517902205272,"sku":"IFIZENB3","price":319.67,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/files\/1_2188fe31-be22-437d-a129-c3a3a74f154e.webp?v=1768212164","url":"https:\/\/videosell.de\/products\/ifi-audio-zen-blue-3","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
