iFi audio GO Bar - The Best Pocketable HiFi System, Bar None!

The second half of iFi audio's new ZEN Air Range: ZEN Air CAN and ZEN Air Phono!
At just £99/€99/$99, the ZEN Air CAN offers astonishing value for money – its circuitry and facilities have been simplified form the original ZEN CAN but the quality of what has been retained is remarkable. Like the ZEN CAN, it has no digital input of any kind; it connects to any audio source with an analogue output, such as the headphone output from a DAP (Digital Audio Player), a laptop, a tablet or a smartphone, or the RCA outputs from, say, a CD player, or a phono stage like the ZEN Air Phono. It could also be paired with the ZEN Air Blue to add Bluetooth reception, or perhaps combined with the ZEN Air DAC to upgrade the DAC’s headphone amp stage.

ZEN Air Phono - Let's recap!
The ZEN Air Phono offers excellent performance with both MM and MC cartridges and it also delivers an ultra-low noise performance that’s measurably and audibly the cleanest and clearest at its price point – just like its big brother, the award-winning ZEN Phono. This ensures that the listener hears every drop of detail against a super-quiet background.

iFi’s ZEN Air Series – great sound for under £100
Based on the award-winning ZEN Series, iFi’s ZEN Air range makes high-performance audio more affordable than ever before
Southport, England – iFi’s popular ZEN Series has received universal praise for delivering exceptional sound at affordable prices, earning scores of awards from respected industry publications and websites. With RRPs of £159 for the ZEN DAC V2 and ZEN Blue V2, and £189 for the ZEN CAN and ZEN Phono, the ZEN Series has achieved iFi’s aim of making high-performance audio accessible to all.

Now, iFi extends this ambition still further – the new ZEN Air range takes these four ZEN devices, simplifies the circuitry and strips back some features whilst retaining core elements to enable an even more eminently affordable price tag… just £99/€99/$99 per device!
iFi says: be at One with your sound
One DAC with universal connectivity – iFi’s ZEN One Signature delivers exceptional sound from every digital device in a home audio environment
Southport, England – Award-winning audio specialist iFi expands its ZEN Signature range – enhanced, premium-grade devices based on the acclaimed, entry-level ZEN Series – with the ZEN One Signature.

Described as a ‘universal DAC’ owing to its all-encompassing input options, the ZEN One Signature takes the DAC stage from the ZEN DAC V2, adds S/PDIF inputs (optical and coaxial) alongside the USB port, stirs in Bluetooth technology from the ZEN Blue V2 and seasons the pot with Signature-grade circuit enhancements to create a delicious audio brew.
Performance-tuned for captivating sound with all forms of media, from hi-res music to movie and video game soundtracks, the iFi ZEN One Signature is available from 14 January at an RRP of £349 / €349 / $349.
iFi audio xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend
Delivering remarkable versatility, state-of-the art technology, and class-leading sound quality with digital and analogue sources, iFi’s latest DAC/headphone amp is a portable marvel
Southport, England – Launched in 2018, the xDSD is among the most popular portable DAC/headphone amps in iFi’s range – a feature-packed model that has earned a stellar reputation and a plethora of awards thanks to its supremely judged blend of convenience, versatility and performance.

The iFi xDSD Gryphon is available from mid-November at an RRP of £599, €599 incl. VAT and US$599 ex tax.
iFi audio hip-dac 2: just the tonic for headphone fans
Southport, England – The hip-dac is one of iFi’s most popular USB DAC/headphone amps, beloved for its affordable price, extensive hi-res specification, distinctive design reminiscent of a hip flask and fittingly intoxicating sound. Now, some 21 months after the original hip-dac launched, iFi has updated its design with internal enhancements and a brand-new colour. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the hip-dac 2!

The new model’s obvious distinguishing feature is the Sunset Orange anodised finish applied to its aluminium enclosure, replacing the original’s Petrol Blue. Under the hood, a collection of carefully considered and painstakingly implemented circuit changes elevate the hip-dac 2s performance to an even higher level.
The 8-core XMOS chip, which processes the data received over USB, has been replaced by a new-generation 16-core XMOS processor, delivering double the clock speed and four times the memory. This chip was initially introduced to iFi’s latest DACs at higher price points, such as the NEO and Diablo models, and is now trickling down to iFi’s entry-level devices, including the hip-dac 2.
iFi'a Pro range just got better!

The Pro iDSD Signature takes the original Pro iDSD and pushes it even further towards perfection. Over its predecessor it features:
-Sonically darker background and a punchier bass
-Upgraded power -supply components to lower the overall system noise by 300%
-Precisely matched NOS GE5670s tubes
-Added support for USB1.0 (PS4/PS5)
-A new aluminium remote control
-A top-of the range iPower Elite power supply included

The Pro iCAN Signature takes the original Pro iCAN and pushes it even further towards perfection. Over its predecessor it features:
-Revised circuit design incorporates even more ultra-grade audiophile components
-Upgraded power supply circuits to eradicate even more noise and distortion
-Top of the range iPower Elite offboard AC/DC power supply included
-Hand-selected and matched tubes in the output stage
-4.4mm Pentaconn balanced-headphone output
-New aluminium remote control
iFi audio Go blu - Super small. Super light. Super Sound.

Southport, England – iFi’s acclaimed DAC/headphone amps have formed a cornerstone of the company’s product range since its formation in 2012, delivering brilliant sound from smartphones, tablets, PCs, Macs and more. Some of these devices include rechargeable batteries and are sized to make them conveniently portable. None, however, are as eminently pocketable as the GO blu – iFi’s most diminutive DAC/headphone amp yet. But, while it may be delightfully small (55x34x13mm, similar in size to a matchbox or Zippo lighter) and weigh just 26g (less than an AA battery), this pocket rocket delivers a performance that is remarkably mighty.

iFi audio ZEN Stream is our latest addition to the award-winning ZEN Series of compact and affordable audio devices, designed to deliver flexible, high-quality network streaming to any audio environment.
