iFi Audio ZEN Air BLUE 2 Hi-Res Bluetooth Audio Streamer

ZEN Air BLUE 2 Hi-Res Desktop / In-Car Bluetooth Audio Streamer, by iFi Audio.

The ZEN Air Blue 2 brings your home Hi-Fi system into the modern era with true, high-fidelity wireless streaming from your phone, tablet, or laptop. By eliminating the compromises typically associated with wireless audio, this entry-level receiver allows you to enjoy uncompromised, CD-quality sound without needing to replace your existing amplifier or active speakers.

At the heart of the unit is Qualcomm’s advanced QCC3095 chipset combined with Bluetooth 5.4 capability. This technology provides a significantly more stable and reliable connection, minimising dropouts and handling high bitrates - up to 1200kbps - to ensure your music retains exceptional clarity and detail.

For greater versatility, the receiver features iFi’s signature three-stage circuit design, which separates reception, conversion, and amplification. The digital stream is sent directly to a dedicated ESS Sabre DAC for highly accurate analogue conversion, making it a powerful upgrade for both home listening and in-vehicle audio systems.
