iFI Audio / ZEN CAN Full Balance Design Headphone Amplifier

ifi AUDIO / ZEN CAN is a high-performance headphone amplifier with a fully balanced design and 1600mW output power that powerfully drives headphones.

■ ZEN CAN is equipped with trickle-down technology from iFi's flagship model Pro iCAN, "Class A Discrete" balance circuit. With a maximum output of 15.1V @ 300Ω, it has an amazing power that produces a low range that sinks even from headphones that are difficult to drive.

■ XBass is an active EQ circuit that solves the general drawback of headphones, which is the lack of bass. Especially with open headphones, all frequencies (especially the low frequencies that the driver's output rolls off) are reflected and radiated freely from the back without reaching the ears. XBass equalization is a much more sophisticated bass correction solution than typical EQ circuits. It consists of an active circuit and a passive circuit, the frequency response curve of which accurately corrects the low-end response problem.

■ It is a full discrete balanced amplifier audio circuit. It is a full symmetric dual mono headphone amplifier with a gold-plated 4.4 mm balanced connection terminal. These premium technologies are costly, but can reduce the noise floor to a whispering level.

■ The "Class A Discrete" circuit installed in ZEN CAN is installed in Pro iCAN, the flagship headphone amplifier of iFi, and is ported almost as it is from Pro iCAN.

■ TDK's C0G (Class 1 Ceramic) Capacitors provide high stability and low loss for resonant circuit applications. These are expensive, but they are perfect parts for our products.

■ The XBass analog bass correction system corrects the lost bass response of headphones and speakers.

■ Enables the experience of listening to music "out of the head". The 3D Holographic Dual Analog Matrix puts the artist in the room with you, not in your head.
