iFi Audio Zen Can Signature Premieum Desk-Fi Headphone DAC & Amp FAQs

Is the iFi Audio ZEN CAN Signature compatible with both balanced and single-ended headphones?

Yes, the ZEN CAN Signature is compatible with both balanced and single-ended headphones. It features a 6.3mm output for standard single-ended connections and a 4.4mm Pentaconn balanced output for headphones offering balanced connectivity. This design provides flexibility to accommodate various headphone types.

What is the purpose of the 'PowerMatch' gain settings on the ZEN CAN Signature?

The 'PowerMatch' feature on the ZEN CAN Signature offers four gain settings: 0dB, 6dB, 12dB, and 18dB. This allows users to adjust the amplifier's gain to match the sensitivity of their headphones or in-ear monitors (IEMs). For sensitive IEMs, a lower gain setting like 0dB helps maintain low noise levels, while higher gain settings are suitable for driving headphones with higher impedance or lower sensitivity.

Can the ZEN CAN Signature be used as a preamplifier for active speakers or power amplifiers?

Yes, the ZEN CAN Signature includes an 'XBass' feature designed to enhance bass frequencies. This feature is particularly useful for headphones that may lack low-end presence, allowing users to tailor the bass response to their preference.

Does the ZEN CAN Signature include any features to enhance bass performance?

Yes, the ZEN CAN Signature includes an 'XBass' feature designed to enhance bass frequencies. This feature is particularly useful for headphones that may lack low-end presence, allowing users to tailor the bass response to their preference.
