Another ifi- another hi-flying review on the way

It is no secret that I think the best DAC/headamp under $500 is the iFi ZEN series of kit.  The V2 holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first DAC reviewed here at Euphonic Review, and that particular one got one helluva send-off as a giveaway to one lucky reader in celebration of our creation.  

Am I biased?  Well, if great sound, and 'sound' technical reasoning behind the product component choices makes me biased, then yeah, I guess you could call me biased.  

(Of course, if you take a look at our Editor's Choices up in our header, you will find other manufacturer's products very highly rated as well.)

But here we are with a brand new, just released update to the iFi ZEN DAC/AMP series- the V3.  And just like with our first review ever at Euphonic Review, THIS ONE WILL ALSO FIND ITS WAY INTO A LUCKY READER'S HOME.  Once the review is posted, instructions on how to enter will be given.  No purchases necessary, everything of course is legally above board.  Anyone is eligible to receive the prize.  

The gear literally arrived just a few hours ago, so here are some pics I took just to whet everyone's appetite.  

Bon Appetit mes amis et ennemis :) :) :) 

je plaisante, nous n'avons pas d'ennemis, surtout pas les merveilleux Français.
