XBass is the magic sauce in the IfI DAC/Amps.

Love your videos. The Zen DAC series is best as a DAC/Preamp to a more powerful, more neutral amp. It has a balanced pre-out and the X-Bass and gain are fun to use in variable out mode. It is designed with Burr Brown to add to its tube-like sound characteristics. I had a Zen DAC V2 in line with my SMSL SH9 feeding my HD8XX and it was a uniquely wonderful experience with the X-Bass engaged.

yeah the variable mode to send xbass to an amplifier is pretty sick trick to get bass boost on other amps!

This sounds like the solution i have been looking for all along. Could you please give a bit more info on that? Is this available only on the V3 version of the Zen DAC or does it exist in the entire series? I own the V1 Zen Dac for nearly 5 years now and i am loath to replace it because of the Xbass feature. My LCD2Cs are just pure magic with a balanced cable and the Xbass enabled. I can't turn it off. It is THAT kind of fun. With this feature being able to be "transferred" to another amp for more power (the LCD2C could benefit from that) perhaps i don't need to replace the Zen DAC and i can add something on top of it instead. Do you happen to know anything at all about this?

I had tried the ifi gryphon and love the way it sounds . I returned it because I find it did not have enough power to drive my headphones and i wish it had a desktop mode like some fiio so you don’t need to play on battery all the time you can bypass the battery if you want. Love that feature.
@ryanhostudio Ай бұрын
yeah the ifi gryphon is definitely featured pack! I guess if you wanted unlimited power than it’s the ifi diablo for sure. Bypass battery would be nice to preserve the longevity of the battery!

If ZEN DAC 3 sounds more warm, that means treble are lower present and bass higher present? i want this DAC, but i want better trebles too, not lower. I have Audinst HUD MX2 now.

Sabre dacs are all CRAP! So you can have your tiny uno and leave me with my zen dac v3 and ifi idsd neo 2. Your opinions are utterly irrelevant to me.
