Review: Muy buena marca y buenas prestaciones , le falta una buena guia de conexiones para personas no tan profesionales, creo que el equipo da más de lo que uno supone
Review: Behold, wireless CD-quality sound, devoid of any compression artifacts. This is the purest, most authentic form of CD-quality sound in its original 16-bit @ 44.1 kHz format, transmitted wirelessly in aptX Lossless codec. The photograph clearly documents the evidence of 16-bit @ 44.1 kHz aptX Lossless transmission (TX) and reception (RX), the color of the lights on the iFi Zen Blue 3 confirms this, as well does the receiver with the actual read out. This transceiver, the iFi Zen Blue 3, is the pinnacle of technological achievement, employing the Qualcomm QCC5181 chipset and the Sabre ESS Premier 9023 stereo digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The latter boasts a dynamic range of 112 dB and jitter-free sound quality due to its patented Hyperstream architecture. This device is the gold standard for Bluetooth wireless technology. It is a testament to the adage that one should never settle for anything less than the pinnacle of excellence. Pairing was straightforward, fast, easy and nearly automatic, rest assured that this is the real deal, why settle for anything less. I found the iFi Zen Blue 3 to be rock solid in transmitting (TX) the aptX Lossless codec and rock-solid receiving (RX) the aptX Lossless codec, 10 stars for rock-solid signal strength and signal stability. Just go ahead and pull the trigger on this and buy it, you know you want it, and in the end, you won’t be sorry that you did. Its backwards compatible with all bluetooth codecs, so this leaves you plenty of time for upgrading at your own pace, toward aptX lossless on all your devices, making them all of audiophile quality.
