iFi Zen USB DAC 3 Review & Hi-Fi Sound Test HQ. I love this Headphone Amplifier & Desktop USB DAC for headphones, home HiFI audio and like preamp for studio monitors. Looking for the ultimate audiophile desktop setup without breaking the bank? In this video, I show deep into a full review and high quality sound test of the all new iFi Zen DAC 3! Watch and listen as I put this high-res USB DAC to the test, connecting it directly to a pair of Pioneer speaker towers and driving the legendary, high-impedance Sennheiser HD 600 headphones to their absolute limit. I cover everything from its unique futuristic design and affordable price point to a complete breakdown of its front and back panels. If you want to hear how it performs, make sure to stick around until the very end for the live sound and bass demos! PowerMatch provides switchable gain for demanding headphones. Enhance bass with XBass+, a pure analogue mode perfect for IEMs or open-back headphones
