iFi Audio introduces the Zen Air CAN , a powerful and affordable desktop headphone amplifier that lets you enjoy a quality headphone listening experience without breaking the bank. Versatile, it is suitable for both balanced and single-ended headphones thanks to two front outputs and various settings.
Zen Air CAN has three different gain settings, allowing it to accompany the vast majority of headphones on the market, be they high-sensitivity or high-impedance models.
Zen Air CAN also provides two features developed by the brand. The first, XBass, allows you to expand the bass response in an analogue way. The second, XSpace, is an analog spatial analyzer for headphones aimed at achieving a wider soundstage.
With two headphone outputs, a single-ended 6.35mm jack and an S-Balanced 4.4mm jack, Zen Air CAN is suitable for any situation. Moreover, this latter connection allows you to take advantage of all the benefits of a balanced connection, i.e. less noise and less crosstalk, without the need for balanced headphones.
