Serenity in every detail. Incredible power. Uncompromising clarity.
The iFi ZEN CAN 3 is a next-generation desktop balanced headphone amplifier designed to deliver breathtaking clarity against an ultra-dark background. In a world full of noise and distraction, music has the power to transport you somewhere calmer, more emotional, and deeply immersive. With the ZEN CAN 3, every nuance is revealed—from the crack in a singer’s voice to the gentle decay of a piano note—rendered with stunning precision and raw musical emotion.
Delivering up to 2,000mW of output power, the ZEN CAN 3 effortlessly drives everything from ultra-sensitive IEMs to demanding planar magnetic and high-impedance headphones. Its headroom and dynamic control allow music to breathe naturally, handling peaks with ease and preserving the emotional impact of every performance. This isn’t about loudness—it’s about authority, control, and connection.
The ZEN CAN 3 is ready for the future of headphone technology, now supporting xMEMS-based IEMs—an innovative micro-speaker design that pushes performance boundaries. By incorporating pioneering xMEMS amplification first introduced in the flagship iDSD Diablo-X, the ZEN CAN 3 delivers the voltage and precision required for optimal xMEMS operation.
Modern streaming content often buries dialogue beneath music and effects. The ZEN CAN 3 introduces Movie Mode, an analogue EQ profile designed to enhance vocal clarity—so dialogue is intelligible, natural, and effortless to follow.
Game Mode is built for competitive players who rely on audio cues for advantage. By sharpening subtle, low-level sounds, it makes footsteps, movement, and positional cues easier to detect—helping you stay one step ahead in intense gaming scenarios.
At its core, the ZEN CAN 3 features Class A discrete balanced circuitry trickled down directly from iFi’s flagship iCAN Phantom. Premium, cherry-picked components from Panasonic, TDK, MELF, Texas Instruments, muRata, and Tokyo Cosmos Electric Co. (TOCOS) ensure exceptional stability, accuracy, and longevity.
Unlike DSP-based solutions that manipulate digital signals before conversion, all features in the ZEN CAN 3 are implemented through pure analogue circuitry. This preserves signal integrity, reduces phase shift, and delivers a more natural, lifelike tonal balance.
Performance can be further enhanced by upgrading the power supply. Pair the ZEN CAN 3 with the SilentPower iPower2, an ultra-quiet audiophile-grade PSU that is stated to be more than 10× quieter than typical solutions—ensuring the darkest background and the highest level of clarity.
With the darkest background, one discovers the tiniest details.
Today the world is busy, fast, and full of noise. We know the power of music, and how it’s capable of taking you out of this world to someplace new. Somewhere tranquil, where melodies can uplift, and vocals can move you to tears.
The unrivalled clarity of the ZEN CAN 3 envelops you with raw, unadulterated emotion. Hear the crack of a voice, the crescendo of a chorus, the delicate whisper of a piano – every note and nuance is delivered with breathtaking precision. The ZEN CAN 3 ignites late-night listening sessions with its ability to effortlessly drive headphones – from xMEMS-based IEMs to high-end planars – delivering up to 2,000mW output power through the same Class A circuitry found in our flagship iCAN Phantom.
Isolate yourself from the chaos of the outside world with our all-new analogue EQ-modes, allowing for full immersion during intense gaming and movie marathons.
The ZEN CAN 3 now supports IEMs using xMEMS, an innovative micro-speaker technology pushing the boundaries of headphone performance.
Ultra-fast mechanical response, 150 times faster than a typical dynamic driver
Flat 2° phase response for more accurate sound reproduction
+/- 1° phase matching for more accurate spatial sound
Silicon speaker diaphragm, 95 times more rigid than plastic, for reduced speaker break-up and a less muddy midrange
By incorporating the pioneering xMEMS amplification first found in the flagship iDSD Diablo-X, the ZEN CAN 3 can deliver the voltage required for optimal operation of this cutting-edge technology, bringing the power of xMEMS to a whole new audience and ensuring that you are ready for the future as it happens.
Have you ever experienced watching a thrilling scene only to struggle to hear what the characters are saying? This is a frustration shared by many, as streamed content often has dialogue that gets lost amidst background sounds and music.
Enter movie mode, an EQ specifically designed to address the clarity of dialogue in streamed content, enabling you to fully immerse in the narrative without straining to hear or decipher what is being said.
Game mode caters directly to the needs of those constantly seeking any
advantage they can get in competitive play.
Gamers understand the importance of hearing even the faintest sounds that can give away an opponent’s position or signal an approaching threat.
Game mode’s EQ enhances this aspect of gameplay by sharpening subtle, low-level sound effects, ensuring that every sound becomes more distinct and easier to pinpoint. Whether navigating through intense firefights or sneaking up on enemies, this heightened audio sensitivity allows you to stay one step ahead of opponents.
With its impressive 2,000mW output power, the ZEN CAN 3 offers a significant upgrade to the way you experience music through headphones, with unprecedented clarity and headroom.
Its ability to handle dynamic peaks with ease means you can experience music as it was meant to be heard – vivid, immersive, and profoundly moving. It means more than just loudness – it’s about feeling the music resonate through you, stirring your soul and creating a connection that transcends mere sound.
Whether its planar magnetic headphones requiring more power to drive accurately, or high-impedance models that need ample current delivery, the ZEN CAN 3 rises to the challenge.
The ZEN CAN 3 features trickle-down Class A discrete balanced circuitry from our flagship headphone amplifier. Underpinning the circuitry are cherry-picked, premium components from Panasonic, TDK, MELF, Texas Instruments and muRata.
The amplification stage boasts iFi/AMR’s own ‘OV’ (Operationsverstärker) series op-amps, outperforming commercial chips that use low-grade copper and inexpensive aluminium bond-wire.
Performance of the ZEN CAN 3 is optionally upgradable by powering with an ultra-quiet power supply. The SilentPower iPower2 boasts performance more than 10 times quieter than other audiophile solutions – ensuring the clarity you crave is never compromised.
Unlike other audiophile offerings, all the ZEN CAN 3’s features are done with analogue circuitry, as opposed to Digital Signal Processing (DSP), where the audio signal is manipulated before being converted to true analogue sound.
Instead, the ZEN CAN 3 leverages the natural advantages of analogue circuitry: it maintains the integrity of the sound, introduces less phase shift and distortion, and boasts a more natural-sounding adjustment of frequencies.
iFi’s signature analogue bass enhancement, XBass+, is designed to make bass hit harder without compromising the clarity of the midrange – perfect for when you’re listening with IEMs or open-back headphones that lack bass response.
XSpace recreates the expansive soundstage of speakers, transforming headphone listening from confined and ‘inside your head’ to natural and spacious. This technology makes music come alive, offering a concert-like sound experience without losing any detail or resolution – all achieved through the innovative design of our circuitry.
Sonically superior – richer, deeper.
The XBass® analogue bass correction system corrects for the missing headphone/speaker bass response.
As with many other iFi audio products, we’ve incorporated a custom OV Series operational-amplifier. This top-notch component contributes to the extremely low noise, low distortion (0.0001%) and wide bandwidth.
A Tokyo Cosmos Electric Co. (TOCOS) multi-track potentiometer is used. This has close channel matching tolerance for optimal performance (always use above 11 o’ clock).
TDK C0G (Class 1 ceramic) capacitors offer high stability and low losses for resonant circuit applications.
Getting ever closer to the theoretical ideal of pure, frequency-constant capacitance, these capacitors reduce capacitor-induced distortion to vanishingly low levels.
They are pricey but are a perfect addition to our products.
Texas Instruments low-noise ICs offer great unity-gain bandwidth, very low noise and distortion, high output drive capability, Common-mode and Power Supply Rejection Ratios of over 100 dB, wide maximum-output-swing bandwidths and high slew rates.
Class A Discrete is a circuit that has come straight out of iFi’s flagship headphone amplifier, the iCAN Phantom, which at £3,749 is 16 times the price of the ZEN CAN 3.
