Sonic Signature & Pairing
EC Zero is built to keep your chain clean and controlled: strong drive for portable headphones, plus line-out and S/PDIF options when you want to use an external desktop DAC. If you’re rediscovering CDs, balanced output is the fastest path to more headroom and tighter control—especially with full-size cans.
To unleash the full potential of this device, we recommend pairing it with gear from our Headphones Collection.
