”The ZEN Signature sets delivered highly resolved, clean, pristine, dynamic sound.” - ‘Stereophile’ – (Tested with ZEN DAC Signature).
Award-winner made better
The original ZEN CAN swept the board, winning multiple awards. This Signature version builds on this by using higher quality electronics for an even more detailed, purer sound. It also takes audio tailoring to the next level with ActiveEQ.
Highest quality components for class-leading sound
Various component upgrades have been made, including Elna Silmic II and Panasonic OS-CON capacitors. It’s rare to find these electronics in components under £1000, let alone at the ZEN CAN Signature’s price, making this headphone amp punch well above its weight.
High on detail. Low on noise
The result of using these high quality components, plus painstaking development and engineering, means that the ZEN CAN Signature produces a level of musical detail and realism that’s sensational at this price. Background noise and distortion are reduced to vanishingly low levels, meaning you get to hear even the tiniest musical details. If it’s on the recording, the ZEN CAN Signature will reproduce it.
XSpace for a broader sound
This analogue processor compensates for recordings that suffer from a compressed sound. Widening the soundstage, XSpace maximises the potential of your headphones, giving a more ‘out of the head’ experience.
Pump up the bass
Using passive and active components, switchable XBass enhances the bass response. Ideal for bass-light sounding headphones, the XBass setting applies additional bass, while colouring the rest of the sound as little as possible.
Maximise your headphones’ potential
Delivering up to 52x more power than your smartphone or laptop’s output, the Zen CAN Signature has the power to bring your headphones to life. As well as improving your headphones’ power and dynamics, the Class A amp ensures beautifully smooth and detailed sound. What’s more, you can also adjust the gain to suit your headphones needs more precisely.
Precise headphone pairing, with selectable gain
Featuring four stages of gain control, in steps of 6dB, the Zen CAN Signature seamlessly matches your headphones. By selecting the correct gain, you not only maximise the volume potential but also reduce distortion and maximise the volume control’s sensitivity.
Balanced output
Boasting a dedicated, balanced output, the Zen CAN Signature provides your headphones with a dynamic, punchy sound. You can choose between balanced and unbalanced outputs, giving the chance for higher spec headphones with balanced inputs to truly excel.
Trio of inputs
With three inputs to hand, this is a flexible headphone amp. Choose from 3.5mm (single-ended), RCA phono and 4.4mm balanced inputs to connect to your choice of source. The 4.4mm balanced input is the ideal, studio-grade, connection when paired with the ZEN DAC Signature.
Made to match the ZEN DAC Signature
Looking for an ultimate, digital-source, reference quality headphone amp? Simply add the ZEN DAC Signature and you’ve got a two-box solution to match the best. Once connected via a balanced cable, the sound quality produced by this duo is breathtaking. Just make sure you have the headphones to do it justice!
