Using the Zen Blue which would give me the best sound Coaxial to amp or RCA to amp I mean getting the most of the Dac. Thanks
Luckily I have an abundance of cables. Comes with all the upgrades and they are all gathering dust. I need to stop reading cable reviews. All I buy now are the Van damme cables they are as good as any.You have the luxury of trying both DACs if you invest a couple of quid in cables.
Yes thats what I decided to use in the end.The Analogue that is.The review here suggests that the Zens analogue output will be the better option of the two, and I’d not be surprised.
It is an all in one, designed as a piece player.
I'll treat myself to one of these going fwd, especially after reading it's built in dac performance is that good

what gives? Actives + subs perchance?when I change my 1120 for a 2170.
Yes, I’m still planning on getting a pair of the Dynaudio XDs and I’d like to drive them straight from the digital out of the 2170, letting the Dynaudios amps do all the work.what gives? Actives + subs perchance?
Outstanding plan!Yes, I’m still planning on getting a pair of the Dynaudio XDs and I’d like to drive them straight from the digital out of the 2170, letting the Dynaudios amps do all the work.
Unless I can somehow steal a pair of these, in which case I’d still need the Digital output for RoomPerfect from the 2170.
Except even more so.

Outstanding plan!
@camcroft thanks! We tried to cut down on features, but not on the sound. Some people don't need the extras and the Zen Air series lets them save a few pounds. It was a super interesting project as it was mainly optimization. How can we make audio more approachable, and more streamlined without compromising the quality? The answer is the Zen Air.But don't write off the Air model

Thanks, we tried our best!I haven’t used one and I don’t currently need one, but if I do need a usb dac in the future (for my bedroom probably) the Air is what I’ll be getting.
Seems a first class bargain.
All ideas are welcomed. I can always pass them in the office. What kind of power are you thinking? 2x25W?All we're short now is a little 99 euro ifi air class d amplifier with good power and just enough inputs and outputs for the first 4, oh and a dac with a load of optical and coax inputs, has to be 99 though
99wpc of courseAll ideas are welcomed. I can always pass them in the office. What kind of power are you thinking? 2x25W?
A standard Zen One DAC (non-signature) would complete the midrange. I have the Zen DAC but would of paid a bit more for the additional inputs. The signature series version is a bit of a price point leap if the rest of the system is not comparable or your use case is to a price pointThanks, we tried our best!
