I bought the Zen Air Can several months ago and it’s quite good. At least it gives you the opportunity to try different DACs. It’s certainly powerful with a warmish tone to it. Although it’s overkill for most planar IEMs, it can really give power-hungry ones the needed “push” to sound their best. They are great for my Letshouer S12 Pros and especially great for my recently-acquired KZ PR2 HBB’s, which are notoriously hard to drive.
I bought the VOLARE based solely upon your review. Loved it. My desktop setup is using a Sennheiser GSX 1000 as a dac going into a JDS Labs Atom (first revision)
I've been toying with the idea of getting an amp with a balanced output and was wondering if you thought that giving this a shot might added more dimension or if I'd be good with where I'm at.
I can't honestly say without having every tried the GSX 1000 but what I can say is; balanced circuits *can* sound better, especially if more power is required but obviously Volare doesn't need any more power than you have already. The DAC and amp can make a difference but I think if you want an improvement over what you're using now, you'd likely need to spend more than $99.
Please excuse me if I missed in the review, but what dac amp chip does it use…cirrus logic or ess..?
This one is a headphones amplifier only so there is no DAC chip. It uses iFi OV2637 op-amps.
While I like that ifi designed something that wasn't just a box, it looks goofy when stacked with other Zen series products designed to go with it.
Yeah, it kinda does!
Just to be clear, this is both a dac and amp correct?
This is only a headphones amp.
@@PrimeAudioReviews and I got excited for a sec, a $99 dac amp from ifi with xbass AND xspace??
Maybe one day 😅
Well, you can get the iFi ZEN Air DAC. 😃 (without xSpace tho).
Ifi uno is a $79 dac/amp.
i have Zen Can and i love it especially paired with FiiO K5 Pro or Topping E30II but the Zen Dac v2 is complete crap all IFI dacs have very high noise floor so i don't like them at all
True, the Air DAC has some noise.
@@PrimeAudioReviewswow, that's unacceptable. I'm genuinely shocked.
