iFi Zen Can Signature Desktop Headphone Amplifer

The ZEN CAN Signature is an upgraded version of the award-winning ZEN CAN headphone amplifier, tailored by iFi Audio for Signature Sound. It's designed for both IEMs and headphones, featuring audiophile-grade components for superior sound quality. Enhanced circuitry and premium components deliver exceptional sonic performance.

The balanced, symmetrical dual-mono circuitry can deliver 1890mW (11.0V) into 64-ohm loads and over 15V to loads of 600 ohms or higher. It provides 50 times more power compared to typical laptop or smartphone outputs, ensuring the full potential of headphones is realized. Additionally, it features Class A discrete balanced circuitry inherited from the flagship Pro iCAN headphone amplifier for warm and exceptional sound quality.

Offering a variety of input options including stereo RCA, 3.5mm single-ended, and 4.4mm balanced inputs for versatile connectivity. It also provides 4.4mm balanced and 6.3mm single-ended headphone outputs, as well as an analogue balanced output for active speakers. The ZEN CAN Signature offers multiple customization options including four gain settings and two analogue processing modes to suit various headphones.

It incorporates audiophile-grade components such as ELNA Silmic II and OS-CON capacitors, iFi/AMR ‘OV’ series op-amps, and TDK C0G capacitors for superior performance. Additionally, it includes the iFi iPower2 power supply with Active Noise Cancellation II to eliminate incoming EMI and RFI noise, ensuring clean and clear audio. Utilizing a fully-discrete and balanced amplifier audio circuit with gold-plated 4.4mm balanced connection for premium engineering and whisper-quiet operation.
