iFi Audio Zen CAN 3 Class A Headphone Amplifier
ZEN CAN 3 now supports IEMs using xMEMS technology, an innovative speaker technology pushing the boundaries of headphone performance. XMEMS drivers are some 150 times faster than mechanical drivers and exhibit virtually no phase shift. ZEN CAN 3 expands its capabilities with two new analogue EQ modes, specifically tuned for gaming and movies. Streamed content often suffers from hollow and muffled dialogue. Movie mode enhances the vocal presence range, making subdued dialogue in streamed content crystal clear. Game mode sharpens subtle, low-level sound effects, giving gamers an advantage by making even the softest footsteps and faintest rustles more distinct. ZEN CAN 3 delivers up to 2,000mW continuous output power – serious power for difficult-to-drive headphones. It features 0-18dB adjustable gain, with +6dB steps to perfectly match your headphones.
