The changes were practically unperceivable to me on this model, to be honest. I went with the full-featured GTO with MQA. The third firmware is a GTO filter with MQA. The first firmware is with MQA and the second is without. When you download the ZEN Air DAC firmware, within the zip folder you will find three separate versions.

I bet it uses a combined hardware and software rendering which is fine by me because at least you still get the feature here while others tend to omit this feature. The ZEN Air DAC is MQA capable but I doubt it’s fully hardware-rendering. The ZEN Air DAC does PCM at up to 384k, DXD, and DSD at up to 12.4MHz. You get Bit-perfect rendering with DSD, DXD, and most likely PCM also although PCM was not listed as running bit-perfect plus I believe the 7.4 and 7.4b versions of the firmware state that they run bit perfect. Here is another area the ZEN Air DAC doesn’t skimp on. These features will most definitely give the buyer a feeling that the ZEN Air DAC is not such a bare-bones model after all. They even threw in some of their most popular features like XBass + selectable from the front panel plus a 2-level Power Match. So it seems iFi used some good components here as always and did not cheap out in this area at least. For example, the original ZEN DAC, the ZEN Can, and revision models like the 6XX, HFM, and the MZ99 variants.

These components leaked down and were borrowed from their Pro line gear and are used in many of their other components today. The output stage uses their now well-known and often used OV series OV2637 OP-amp components. If you look up the ZEN Air DAC specification you will find that surprisingly and although a budget model, iFi still managed to squeeze in an XMOS hexadeca-core processor in combination with Burr Brown true native DAC components that iFi combines together with their custom firmware.

What iFi Audio is offering here is a replacement of the PC sound card with a no-fuss way to improve the sound quality of any PC rig or laptop. The first component from that line up on the bench for review is the ZEN Air DAC which enters the market at under three figures making it the most economical way to obtain an all-in-one solution from iFi’s component lineup. This particular ZEN Air component line consists of the ZEN Air DAC, the ZEN Air Blue, the ZEN Air Can, and the ZEN Air Phono. Hosted by 44 Bytes.Following in the footsteps of the now well-known ZEN line iFi Audio decided to scale down a bit and introduce a new line similar to the original ZEN series but this time went budget minded and simplified some. © 2023 Hookshot Media, partner of ReedPop.

You can even get Color Zen Kids on iOS and Android devices for slightly cheaper, so if all you want is a means to match shapes on the bus or train, that may be a less expensive alternative. Unfortunately, Color Zen Kids sells for the same price as its predecessor on the eShop yet offers less than a quarter the number of puzzles – 100 levels to Color Zen's 460. One of Kids' biggest additions is sideways-oriented puzzles, so you'll need to hold your 3DS in the rarely-used 'book' orientation to fully enjoy them – many of us haven't played this way since Brain Training back in 2006! The bright yellow background is a bit more pleasing to look at than the bland black background on the upper screen in the original Color Zen, but it's still a missed opportunity. Sadly, like the first Color Zen on 3DS, all the gameplay takes place on the touch screen and doesn't utilise the system's upper screen at all it simply displays the game's logo. There's a slight loading time between levels that doesn't appear in the home console version, but it's by no means a deal-breaker to get all the same content on a handheld platform. Every puzzle appearing in the Wii U version of Color Zen Kids appears in the 3DS port, and the gameplay is essentially identical.
