iFi Audio has just unveiled their V2 version of their own streaming box. The V2 has kept the same hi-res DAC that was in the V1 which deemed to be very outstanding; iFi has also added an improved Bluetooth antenna which increases your range up to 80% more. Compatibility with Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music, Qobuz or Tidal makes the pairing up process very simple, just add your existing Smartphone, Tablet, PC or MAC to your V2 and you're good to go.

Inputs such as analogue – connect via RCA to amps or active speakers or via the 4.4mm output to amps/speakers with a balanced input. Digital – use the optical and coaxial connections to connect to anything with a built-in DAC and corresponding digital input – your TV, an AV amp or an external DAC in your hi-fi set-up. The analogue output stage is balanced, not normally seen in DACs at this price point. Balanced means less noise, interference/crosstalk. It has RCA and balanced outputs at HiFi standard level; 2V SE and 4V BAL and are therefore compatible with both HiFi and Pro systems.
