I bought the Ifi Zen as it supports the APTX HD codec (supports audio at 24-bit/48kHz as do iphones via bluetooth) so I thought it might be worth a try. To me, it still sounded a bit flat compared to plugging the iphone directly into the DAC via the apple USB adaptor which is actually quite good.

Yeap, as it turns out, thats all it was. I thought I had already tried that but I was wrong. In the end, it still had that flat bluetooth sound so, bluetooth is handy but sound is no better when playing it through the Dac. Thanks for your help.

I originally had the Zen Blue for a while and while it has exceptional quality as a bluetooth receiver I thought a pure DAC attached to it may bump up the quality of the sound. The problem is as I said, the Topping doesn't seem to recognise the Zen as a source..

ahhh...thanks very much!

hi, Thanks for the reply. The Zen blue isn't a DAC per say. It's more of a bluetooth receiver and I'm using an iphone as the source.

I'd like to use my Ifi Zen Blue as a bluetooth source and connect it to my Topping e30 DAC. I've tried Coax and Optical as there is no USB on the Zen. When I select either of these sources on the e30, all I'm getting is a flashing source indicator on the e30 and it eventually goes into standby...
