An XMOS 16-Core chip processes the audio data received via the USB digital input. This new low-latency XMOS microcontroller has greatly enhanced processing power. Compared to the current generation of eight-core chips, the new 16-core IC delivers double the clock speed (2000MIPS) and quadruples the memory (512KB), and it features the latest SuperSpeed USB standard. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eiFi’s in-house digital development team has programmed the XMOS firmware to optimize sound quality and ensure a perfect partnership with the Burr-Brown DAC.

PowerMatch adjusts the gain of the ZEN DAC Air so it functions at the right level for your headphones. Gain is just a unit of measurement that indicates how loud an audio source is and is measured in decibels (dB). XBass+ allows you to tailor the bass to suit your headphones and your personal taste.

As with many other iFi audio products, it incorporates a custom OV Series operational-amplifier (op-amp).
