ZEN CAN Signature MZ99

iFi audio ZEN CAN Signature MZ99

Introducing a high-performance, analog-structured headphone amplifier, this device stands out with its superior design, drawing inspiration from a top-tier model known for its symmetrical, dual-mono, and discrete class-A architecture. Selected with precision, the components within this amplifier ensure an astonishingly high-quality sound experience, especially considering its price range. Whether you're powering ultra-sensitive in-ears or the most challenging planar over-ears, your headphones will sound better than ever.

Analog Excellence

Send your audio signal through a single-ended connection using either a 3.5mm or RCA line input, or opt for a balanced connection through a 4.4mm Pentaconn input. This amplifier boasts a purely analog structure from input to output, meaning it doesn't accommodate USB or digital S/PDIF connections. For those requiring digital inputs, consider pairing it with a complementary DAC. If streaming from iOS or Android devices via Bluetooth is your preference, simply connect a compatible Bluetooth receiver. This base model lays a solid foundation for any headphone setup, allowing for further expansion with additional models from the same range.

Functionality and Features

This amplifier caters to all types of headphones, equipped with both 6.3mm and 4.4mm Pentaconn outputs. It features a front-placed gain switch offering amplification levels of 0dB, 6dB, 12dB, or 18dB. For ultra-sensitive in-ears, start at 0dB and increase to maximum gain for those hard-to-drive planar headphones. Additionally, it includes a specific function designed to perform subtle analog sound corrections for users of a particular model of headphones, ensuring a linear frequency response when used with these specific headphones.

Furthermore, a brand-new sound optimization feature has been integrated into this amplifier. It's particularly beneficial for music that feels confined between the ears, expanding the soundstage so that voices are centered beautifully, with details and effects placed realistically in space, creating a wider and deeper sound image. With this headphone amplifier, elevate your headphone's performance to unparalleled heights.
