Description

Maximise your headphones’ potential
With up to 52 times more power compared to your smartphone or laptop’s output, the Zen Can has the ability to breathe life into your headphones. Alongside enhancing your headphones’ power and dynamics, the Class A amp ensures exquisitely smooth and detailed sound. Featuring premium components like TDK Class 1 ceramic capacitors and MELF resistors, the Zen Can prioritises sound quality.

Balanced output
The Zen Can offers dedicated outputs that deliver dynamic and punchy sound to your headphones. You can select between balanced and unbalanced outputs, allowing higher-spec headphones with balanced inputs to truly excel.

Enhance the bass
Utilising passive and active components, the switchable XBass enriches the bass response. Particularly beneficial for headphones with lighter bass, the XBass setting adds extra bass without compromising the rest of the sound.

Precise headphone matching, with selectable gain
Featuring four stages of gain control, the Zen Can pairs seamlessly with your headphones. Choosing the appropriate gain not only optimises volume potential but also minimises distortion and maximises the sensitivity of the volume control.

Three input options
With three inputs available, this headphone amp isn't just compatible with your laptop. Select from 3.5mm, RCA phono, and 4.4mm balanced inputs to connect to your computer, home hi-fi, studio mixer, or other sources.

Use as a professional-grade pre-amp
This class-leading design benefits more than just headphones. Thanks to its rear-mounted, 4.4mm balanced output, the Zen Can can function as a pre-amp for high-end active speakers or home hi-fi. Connect it to your power amp or active speakers and enjoy smooth volume control across three inputs.

Key Features

  • Generic 5V Power Supply Included
  • Class A discrete output buffer from the flagship Pro iCAN using Op-Amp (OV2637A)
  • FET input avoids loading volume control – low distortion/noise
  • SE inputs (1M Ohm) ensures loading of the source so always in Class A operation
  • Output amplifier gain of four steps in +6dB perfect for headphone matching
  • The XBass® analogue bass correction system corrects for the missing headphone/speaker bass response.
  • An ‘Out of Head’ listening experience. iFi's 3D Holographic® dual-analogue matrices place the artist with you in the room, not inside your head.
