News iFi ZEN Blue 3 - Already sold out?

[Kenneth Fernandes]

The iFi ZEN Blue 3 is sold out as mentioned on the company's website. Given that the shipping began from 09 July 2024 according to Darko Audio's post.

Currently, as per the details on iFi's website, I think it is the ultimate Hi-Fi device for both Bluetooth and wired connections. Worthy of a King status bearing the Hi-Fi royal crown of the year.

Does anyone know when the shipping will resume and be in stock?

iFi might know.... 😎
Outrageous plug for a company, no idea why you think anyone on this forum has insider news...
Many might consider this spam.

No, it’s not a spam.

Currently, it’s the only device one would need to connect to a USB streamer, stereo amplifier, pair of floorstanding/bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer depending on the user’s preferences. Or through Bluetooth headphones.

Promoting a piece of equipment that isn't currently available and giving links to said equipment seems a tad spammy to me.
Has it even been reviewed anywhere?

These are either very tongue in cheek or spam. Have you tried it? How do you know it's any good and the ultimate HiFi device?

He said he THINKS it is the ultimate hi-fi device for Bluetooth and wired. When he can get one, he'll know either way.

It's unavailable even in the United States on iFi's website for $299.00.

No, I haven't. But, I'll wait for What Hi-Fi's review on this anytime soon. It's interesting though, as there aren't many dedicated USB audio streamers, other than laptops/mobile/SBCs, and most of them have an RCA out inbuilt.

If you're willing to go for the first version - it has LDAC.

The Ifizen blue's LDAC is the best sound I've ever gotten with Bluetooth.
The changing colour logo corresponding to the format and khz is very handy.
I've tried a few Bluetooth receivers for sporadic connections to a phone or TV etc and its the best value I've found.

I'd wait maybe weeks for their ZEN Blue 4! 😉

This from the operation that does have "Geometrically Balanced Power Cables" available at amazondotcom -- a $500-only version "for starter audiophiles", and a $900 one for the rest of you.
