Upgraded GMT
 NEW! Upgraded Global Master Timing (GMT) clock circuitry

Pro Series | True Differential Balanced Circuit
 Fully-symmetrical, dual-mono signal stage  Gold-plated 4.4mm balanced connection  SNR = <-116dB(A) @ 0dBFS (UnBAL/BAL)

Analogue Volume Control | Fixed Or Variable
 Variable - use this setting if you wish the ZEN DAC Signature V2 to control the volume of powered speakers or its volume as a preamp.
 Fixed - use this setting if using with downstream equipment with its own volume control. This will bypass the ZEN DAC Signature V2 as if there was a `straight wire' from the digital source to the analogue amplifier.

Balanced Analogue Stage
 Balanced analogue circuitry design  Outstanding components ­ including
C0G capacitors from TDK  Balanced analogue output via 4.4mm
> XLR or other balanced  Interconnects ­ use for an active
speaker or amplifier
