IFI Zen Blue 3 / V3 Bluetooth DAC + Lossless Transmitter / Receiver

Audiophile Sound. Wireless Freedom The wired world is changing. Where once cables were king, Bluetooth audio is now carving out a place for itself, and with the advent of Lossless Bluetooth audio. Cut the Cord. Keep the Quality The ZEN Blue 3 offers wireless audio free of compromise courtesy of Qualcomm’s Flagship QCC518x Bluetooth audio chip and the aptX Lossless codec. ZEN Blue 3’s extensive backwards compatibility ensures that all current major Bluetooth codecs are supported: aptX Lossless, LDAC, LHDC/HWA, aptX Adaptive, aptX, AAC and SBC. Versatility Breeds Possibility Leveraging the Qualcomm QCC518x chipset paired with a dedicated ESS Sabre DAC and Hi-Fi circuitry, the ZEN Blue 3 outperforms most BT transmitters and receivers and can function as a fully wired DAC with 96kHz/24Bit audio via USB-C, or 192kHz/24Bit audio via SPDIF. Balance in All Things By including a balanced line output, users with a balanced audio setup can look forward to significantly reduced signal noise and crosstalk between channels.
