iFi Audio ZEN AIR Blue 2

Key Features The ZEN Air Blue 2 is equipped with Bluetooth 5.4 technology, powered by a Qualcomm QCC3095 series chipset. It’s the world’s first device capable of both sending lossless audio over Bluetooth using the aptX Lossless codec. With aptX Lossless, you can enjoy CD-quality audio (44.1kHz, 16-bit) delivered with zero data loss. Additionally, the ZEN Air Blue 2 supports Hi-Res audio up to 96kHz, thanks to compatibility with LDAC and LDHC/HWA codecs. We take inspiration from Hi-Fi architecture in our approach to Bluetooth implementation. Unlike the standard SOC (System On a Chip) used elsewhere, we combine high-quality components to optimise performance at every stage. A Qualcomm chip handles the raw digital Bluetooth signal, passing it to a dedicated DAC chip for precise digital-to-analogue conversion. From there, the signal flows to our amp stage, featuring our custom OV series op amps. To ensure ultimate accuracy, our GMT femto-precision clock system eliminates jitter, delivering Bluetooth performance that stands above the rest. With flexibly 5-12V DC input compatibility, the ZEN Air Blue 2 can easily be integrated into vehicles, seamlessly upgrading their sonic performance. When installed in your vehicle, the ZEN Air Blue 2 powers up and shuts down automatically with the engine – seamless, hands-free operation every time.
