# Dynamic DAC Converters The 'Zen One Signature DAC' Boasts a Chip With Four Channels By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2022-01-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dac-converters References: [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/home-entertainment/ifi-zen-one-signature/) & [ifi-audio](https://ifi-audio.com/products/zen-one-signature/)  British company [iFi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ifi-zen-blue-3), which specializes in an array of high-tech audio solutions, has launched a brand new DAC converter that is designed to achieve a higher degree of performance in digital-to-analog conversion in conjunction with audio emitted from regular smartphones. While regular consumer electronics such as smartphones are already known to possess DAC technology, the fact of the matter is that they don't always provide the highest fidelity in output, which is where the Zen One Signature DAC comes in. This particular gadget is equipped with best-in-class components that include [Panasonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panasonic-avionics-corporation) capacitators, Vishay MELF resistors and the inclusion of an ultra-low-noise power supply. Throw in the benefits of four-channel functionality and it's no surprise that this DAC converter represents a high-value purchase for a price of $349.
