Namely, the intimate, forward sound presentation, rich depth and detail, and distinct realism in the midrange. The button on the far right toggles between sound settings, including the "ActiveEQ" custom-tuned for the Sennheiser HD 600 series. To keep things properly balanced, iFi also made some gentle adjustments to the bass and treble. The tuning was designed specifically for the HD 6XX and HD 650 headphones, but it matches well with the OG HD 600s and latest (more open-sounding) HD 660S2 headphones also. With the latter, the extra bass boost makes for an emphatic low-end thump. Works with all headphones and IEMs Of course, this compact yet heavy-duty amp can drive headphones of all shapes and sizes, with impedance from 16 ohms up to 600 ohms. In unbalanced mode, it can deliver up to 1,600mW of power — enough for the most power-hungry headphones. But there's an "ActiveEQ" setting that's tuned directly to Sennheiser's sonic strengths. Part of iFi's popular ZEN series Like the original, the Zen Can Signature is unapologetically ONLY a headphone amp. There is no DAC inside and there are no digital audio connections at all. It receives the analog audio signal from a separate DAC and has one job — powering your headphones. It's built to complement the Zen DAC V2 or Zen One Signature DAC/Bluetooth receiver in sound and design. They stack neatly together and connect via included RCA cables (or a balanced 4.4mm-to-4.4mm cable that's not included). The whole setup takes up very little space on a desk, but each piece looks and feels like a premium audio component. Works with all types of headphones On the front panel, there is a 1/4" stereo headphone jack along with a balanced 4.4mm headphone output. The latter is the new industry standard balanced connection that helps cuts down on signal noise and distortion. This is the ideal way to connect the HD 660S2 and a growing list of headphones from multiple brands use it, too. There's also gain button, so you can properly match up the power with your headphone impedance. And you have to love that old-school volume dial sitting right in the center of the front panel — it's the first thing you see! I always find it more satisfying to adjust the volume that way.
