iFi - Zen DAC/Headphone Amp
Attain a state of true Zen
'Zen : a state of calm attentiveness in which one's actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort'.
Of all the things that can bring forth a state of Zen, quality audio is right up there.
IFI’s latest DAC/Headphone amplifier promises to deliver just that.
Cute, Compact & Stylish
Super Hi-Res The fantastic hi-res USB DAC/Headphone amp from IFI Audio brings a level of technical specification and performance that belies it’s super affordable price tag. Housed in a sleek, modern chassis, tidy enough to fit amidst your desktop, whilst at the same time remaining stylish enough to use in your home as USB DAC, just add your favourite speakers or amp for pristine, premium audio quality.
The Flexibility of Zen
all bases covered The Zen DAC is able to switch between ‘variable’ and ‘fixed’ with no trouble whatsoever. When set to ‘variable’, the Zen DAC is able to be used as a preamp to feed a power amp or active speakers. Switch over to ‘Fixed’ to bypass the volume control entirely, then connect to an external pre-amp or integrated amp.
The Ace of Bass The Zen DAC is fitted with TrueBass. IFI’s proprietary technology is a ‘bass boost’ operating in the analogue realm, meaning that there is no DSP in IFI’s technology. ‘TrueBass’ boosts the bass whilst not affecting the mid-range, making the DAC perfect for pairing with IEM’s and open-back headphones which can often leak important bass frequencies.
TDK C0G (Class 1 ceramic) capacitors offer high stability and low losses for resonant circuit applications. They are pricey but are a perfect addition to our products.
Listen to Master Quality Authenticated audio straight out of the box. Connect to Tidal Masters and check the option to stream MQA.

Sennheiser - 'HD600'
The Perfect BalanceThe Sennheiser HD 600 headphones are the professional’s choice for reference playback, designed for complete clarity and a result of Sennheiser’s passion for perfect sound, it is recognized around the world as the standard for detailed listening in both technical and hi-fi applications, even after 20 years since its release. The HD 600 was created to give engineers and audiophiles a detailed representation of everything before it in the audio chain.
Purposely made to vanish when the listener presses “play”, the HD 600 is the perfect reference headphone for inspecting, mixes, masters, and even other audio components. This begins with an innovative, systematic approach to sound reproduction using transparency as the main principle. Equipped with Sennheiser’s progressive production techniques and computer-based transducer optimization, it perfectly combines the art and science of sound.

Opening Up Your Mind
Hear Every DetailThe main element of the HD 600 transducer system is an acoustically transparent open-back earcup that lets every sound wave expand freely, a Sennheiser innovation pioneered and perfected for the most neutral listening experience. Sound emanating from their exclusive 42mm driver is free from turbulence and distortion due to a specialized acoustic silk that manipulates airflow, one of the best possible materials for this job, while requiring hand assembly. By using ultralight aluminium voice coils, the 38mm diaphragm provides rapid rest and response times for clinical detail without sounding harsh or hyped.
Through the whole audible spectrum of sound, this combination of driver size and integrity provides a detailed response that is honest to the source, the kind of listening experience needed to absorb the details with confidence. The 300-ohm impedance of the HD 600 gives you a unified backdrop that allows the finer details in your projects to stand out like you’ve never heard before. Each transducer is measured against high standards for consistent performance across the full frequency spectrum in both channels. By reducing variances between left and right channels, the headphone reproduces mastering-grade sound independent of room acoustics or loudspeaker positioning.
Quality Control
Consistent PerformanceSennheiser worked hard to build a headphone with the ultimate comfort and lasting durability studio professionals require. The velour HD 600 padding is ease to the touch for extended listening at your DAW or hi-fi stack. Even the earcup grille pattern was designed especially for this transducer system, ensuring a fantastic personal sound experience. The HD 600 is created in Ireland at a state-of-the-art production facility with the attention to detail required to handle a wide range of acoustic materials.
The Sennheiser production tolerances are extremely tight to make sure that your HD 600 experience is consistent with those across the world, whenever or wherever it was purchased. For example, the resonators feature stainless steel mesh ensure peak performance after manufacturing. Most parts on the HD 600 are modular, making it perfect to keep operational as the go-to reference monitor regardless of your listening space’s acoustics.
It’s All About Connection
The Audiophile-StandardThe HD 600 comes with a detachable, impedance-matched cable with ultra-low capacitance. The ¼-inch / 6.3mm stereo connector provides the audiophile-standard plug for connection to devices such as audio interfaces, headphone amplifiers and A/V receivers, digital audio players, analog gear, and more.
At 9.8 feet / 3m long, it offers pristine listening on gear deep within your shelves, studio, or desktop. A premium adapter is included to reduce the 6.3mm to 3.5mm / ⅛-inch for plugging into endless other audio devices.
