Our take
If you are looking for a Bluetooth DAC and you like the sound of the IFI ZEN DAC then the IFI Zen Air Blue will be a easy recommendation for you if you are looking for a pure Bluetooth DAC.
Unfortunately this only has a single input which means you can ONLY use bluetooth to connect to your DAC, the IFI Zen Air Blue does not have a USB nor a Optical input, so if USB / Optical / Coxial are important then this may not be the product for you.
