Hi guys, any Zen Dac V2 users here in this forum.

How does that sound as an desktop Dac ?
What's your impression about the MQA decoder?
Which Firmwire you are running?

I had compared this zen dac V2 with my dragonfly v 1.2. I was expecting to be blown away after watching the youtube reviews. But was honestly disappointed. There was hardly any difference which I noticed. The bass boost adds some fun but not to be bought if you already have a DAC.

I am using it from July last year. While the headphone out is decent, the lineout audio seems like a bit low. I get a better output when I stream the same song using my Yamaha Wifi player. The advantage is that this can be used as a headphone dac as well as a desktop dac. The downside is it has got only USB input. In my case its fine because I am using it primarily with my computer+Roon or Foobar, Plexamp.
