iFi Audio Zen DAC V2 Headphone Amplifier (with DAC) Pristine IFI Zen Dac V2 combined Headphone Amp/ Dac/ Preamp. Everyone knows how good this is: I have 2 which is overdoing it a bit. Comes with all accessories PLUS a not included 3a/5v power supply and 2m usb power cable which to my fairly well trained ears is every bit as good as the Ifi Ipower2 I tried. The increase in volume and fidelity while noticeable is not massive over straight usb only connection. Postage is included. Warranty goes to April 2025. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Paypal, eft, cash Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Aust
# iFi Audio ZEN Headphone Amplifier – Buyer Notes
Condition unknown is a red flag that should drop your confidence in this A$170 asking price. Against our recent comparable listings (median A$112, 75th percentile A$180), this sits at the upper bound—fair only if the unit is genuinely mint or nearly new. Unknown condition typically signals the seller hasn't tested it thoroughly or doesn't want to commit to a grade; that ambiguity usually warrants a discount of 15–20% from asking. Push for specifics on whether it powers up cleanly, whether the volume pot is smooth and centered, and if all inputs/outputs function without crackling or channel imbalance.
Before committing, confirm it includes the original USB cable and power supply—iFi often bundles region-specific adapters, and sourcing replacements can be fiddly and costly. Check the serial number against iFi's records if possible to rule out a unit with prior warranty claims or known batch issues. Ask the seller directly whether it's been in storage, heavily used, or reconditioned; a unit that's been sitting unused can develop capacitor issues on first power-up.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
iFi Audio is a British hi-fi technology company founded in 2012 by Abbingdon Music Research (AMR), a prestigious manufacturer of high-end electronics based in Southport, England. The venture was conceived as a way to democratize advanced AMR engineering by applying proprietary technologies developed for premium home audio to portable, more affordable devices. This strategic pivot proved remarkably successful, establishing iFi as a bridge between audiophile-grade sound quality and accessible pricing.
The brand specializes in portable and desktop audio components, with a product portfolio exceeding 50 devices spanning DACs, headphone amplifiers, Bluetooth streamers, music players, power conditioners, and cables. Flagship products include the iDSD Micro, Hip DAC, xDSD, and xCAN amplifier, all engineered to deliver high-resolution audio support and studio-quality fidelity in compact form factors. iFi has also gained recognition for innovation in wireless audio, notably with their GO Pods earphones featuring xMEMS technology and their Bluetooth-enabled DAC/amp solutions.
iFi occupies a distinctive mid-to-premium market position, offering audiophile-caliber performance at entry-level to mid-tier pricing. The company sources components globally from Germany, Japan, and the USA, and employs proprietary technologies such as PureWave balanced circuitry to minimize noise and distortion. Rather than competing in the ultra-luxury segment, iFi targets discerning listeners who demand measurable sonic improvement without premium price tags, making it a trusted choice for both portable and desktop audio enthusiasts.
