“ZEN DAC,” which has gained popularity among many audiophiles since its release in the fall of 2019, has undergone a complete renovation and is now reborn as the 3rd generation!

The supported formats have been expanded from DSD256/PCM384kHz to DSD512/PCM768kHz. In addition to native playback of DSD512, DSD256 sound sources can be played even on devices such as smartphones and Macs that can only transmit DSD via DoP.

The USB input is equipped with USB-C, allowing direct connection and playback from a smartphone without an OTG cable. Headphone output adopts 4.4mm balanced and 6.3mm single-ended. Furthermore, ZEN DAC 3 is equipped with XBass+, which is installed in higher-end models. This uses an analog circuit to compensate for the lack of low frequencies that open-back headphones tend to have, resulting in deeper and richer bass reproduction.
