One DAC, universal connectivity.
Building on the ZEN DAC, the ZEN One Signature adds high-definition Bluetooth, additional digital inputs, and our Signature-grade circuitry - making it the home audio hub for all your devices.
Key Features
With Bluetooth for wireless convenience, USB for high-resolution digital audio, S/PDIF for optical and coaxial sources, and analogue inputs for traditional wired connections, the Zen One Signature ensures seamless compatibility with a wide range of devices. This flexibility makes it a perfect companion for smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles, CD players, and more, delivering premium sound quality no matter how you connect.
Hi-res audio support is state-of-the-art with True Native® playback. It handles PCM data to 32-bit/384kHz, DSD up to DSD256 and single and double speed DXD.
We use Qualcomm’s new QCC5100 Bluetooth processing IC in combination with proprietary circuits to create an audibly superior ‘Bluetooth engine’.
All the current high-definition Bluetooth audio formats are supported – Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive and aptX HD, Sony’s LDACTM and HWA’s LHDC, regular aptX and aptX Low Latency, AAC (Apple iOS devices) and SBC (the ‘plain vanilla’ Bluetooth codec).
Among the 24-bit-capable codecs, aptX HD supports up to 48kHz, whereas aptX Adaptive, LDACTM, and LHDC can reach 96kHz.
iFi’s ‘Bluetooth engine’ can also be updated over-the-air, so future codecs may be added.

We use ELNA Japan Silmic II capacitors for the power supplies.
The primary constituent of the newly developed dielectric is silk fibre. This material was believed as unfathomable as an aluminium electrolytic capacitor. The new material beats silk fibre and mixes it with Manila hemp fibre to provide the dielectric to an aluminium electrolytic capacitor used for high-grade music. The result is second-to-none superior acoustic properties and excellent linearity.
Home Hub DAC
The ZEN One Signature is the ultimate hi-res DAC, supporting DSD256, PCM384, MQA384kHz, and 96kHz Hi-Res Bluetooth with LDACTM, LHDC, aptX Adaptive/HD, AAC. Designed for pure performance, it features a 16-core XMOS microcontroller, fully balanced 4.4mm output, and a minimalist design without a headphone amp or volume control.
HD Bluetooth
The next-generation HD Bluetooth technology in the ZEN One Signature ensures the best sound from every source. Extensive high-definition codec support – aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, LDACTM and HWA/LHDC. High-gain antenna delivers extended Bluetooth range. You’ll love it.
Discerning Digital
The ZEN One Signature offers the following to transform home music enjoyment:
- True Native hi-res DAC – supports 32-bit/384kHz PCM and fully native DSD
- Powerful 16-core XMOS processor – performs full MQA decoding (to 384kHz)
- Upgraded GMT femto-precision clock and customised digital filter eradicate jitter and other forms of digital distortion
- Coaxial S/PDIF digital outputs support 24-bit/192kHz PCM
Awesome Analogue
Balanced circuitry is what the ZEN series is famed for. The ZEN One Signature continues the tradition:
- Balanced circuit design with Signature-grade circuit components delivers ultra-low distortion and exceptional sonic purity
- 4mm Balanced and RCA single-ended analogue outputs – connect to an integrated amp, preamp, headphone amp or active speakers
Signature Special...
The Signature series always includes extra special additions:
- Low-jitter femto clock crystal provides >20dB performance
- 16 Core 2000MIPS XMOS low-latency microcontroller – 4x more processing power
- C0G capacitors – high-linearity, excellent temperature/frequency characteristics
- MELF resistors – high-precision and low-noise
- Taiyo Yuden and Murata inductors – low-impedance power supply rails
- High-gain antenna for extended range
Bluetooth done better
The ZEN One Signature is Bluetooth v5.1-compliant, ensuring the best possible range, stability and performance. Up to eight paired Bluetooth source devices can be stored in memory, making it easy to switch from one device to another.
Making full use of Qualcomm’s latest four-core QCC5100 Bluetooth processing chip, every current high-definition Bluetooth audio format is supported, including aptX Adaptive and aptX HD, LDAC and HWA/LHDC.
