Description: Getting Better Sound Is Easy: ZEN Air DAC Improves Everyday Audio You can easily improve improve the quality of your everyday audio with the ZEN Air DAC. If you are new to the hobby, a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) converts the digital info in your source device — a computer, game console, tablet, or smartphone — to audio that you hear through loudspeakers or headphones. Every device that is a source of digital sound has a built-in DAC. But external DACs, like the ZEN Air, typically sound much better that the standard DACs used inside these devices. The ZEN Air DAC outputs high-resolution audio, which is superior to the standard audio you would get from just using your computer, game console, tablet, or smartphone. Imagine the difference in video quality between a standard TV and a 4K Ultra HD TV. This is similar to the difference that an external DAC can make to your music and other types of audio. The ZEN Air functions as both a DAC and a headphone amp. It's a great first step if you are beginning your audio journey, or if you are setting up a second system. Simply connect the ZEN Air DAC to your computer or smart device via the USB cable. Then connect it to your headphones via the headphone jack at the front, or to speakers via the connections at the back. If you already have an amplifier, you can use the ZEN DAC Air as a pure DAC with this amp or speakers.
