Connecting Your Zen DAC V2

Figure 3.1: Connection diagram illustrating various input and output options for the Zen DAC V2.

1. वीज कनेक्शन: Connect the supplied USB cable to the USB 3.0 B input on the rear of the Zen DAC V2 and to your computer or Digital Audio Player (DAP). The Zen DAC V2 is USB powered. For optimal performance, especially with demanding headphones, an optional 5V external power supply can be connected to the DC 5V input.
2. स्रोत कनेक्शन: Ensure your USB source (computer, laptop, smartphone, etc.) is connected to the USB 3.0 B input.
3. आउटपुट कनेक्शन: Choose your desired output:
   • हेडफोन: Plug your headphones into either the 6.3mm unbalanced output or the 4.4mm balanced output on the front panel.
   • Active Speakers/Ampजीवनदायी: Use the RCA outputs for unbalanced connections or the 4.4mm balanced output for balanced connections to your active speakers or ampलाइफायर
4. Output Mode Selection: On the rear panel, select between 'VARIABLE' (volume controlled by the Zen DAC V2's knob) or 'FIXED' (full output level, volume controlled by your connected amplifier/active speakers).

आवाज नियंत्रण

The large knob on the front panel controls the volume when the rear switch is set to 'VARIABLE'. Due to the analogue volume control used, there may be a slight channel imbalance when the volume dial is set below the 9 o'clock position. This is not a product fault. For the best sound quality, it is advised to listen to your music with the volume between the 11 and 1 o'clock positions.

PowerMatch (Gain Adjustment)

Figure 4.1: Visual explanation of PowerMatch and TrueBass functionalities.

The 'PowerMatch' button on the front panel allows you to adjust the gain to match the sensitivity of your headphones. Pressing this button toggles between two gain settings. Use the lower gain setting for sensitive In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) and the higher gain setting for more demanding on-ear or over-ear headphones.

TrueBass (Bass Enhancement)

The 'TrueBass' button provides a sophisticated, user-selectable bass boost. It subtly enhances low frequencies without muddying the midrange, operating entirely in the analogue domain. This feature is particularly useful for earphones and open-back headphones that may lack deep bass response.

MQA डीकोडिंग

Figure 4.2: The Zen DAC V2 features a new 16-core XMOS chip for full MQA decoding and supports various high-resolution audio formats.

The Zen DAC V2 is a full MQA decoder, meaning it can unfold MQA files completely to deliver the highest possible sound quality, exactly as the artist intended. When playing MQA content, the LED indicator around the volume knob will change color to signify MQA playback.
