Does the zen dac produce better sound? This focus on amplification, the other in sound conversion** A: The Zen DAC is a DAC/Amp, it converts digital signals into audio you can hear and amplifies it. It will have inherently worse sound coming out of it's amp then having a dedicated AMP. To say that either has "better" sound is partly subjective over how the sound literally sounds, but also a bit objective in how clean that sound is and how well that sound is reproduced or amplified. you will get better sound from a Dedicated DAC and a Dedicated AMP then you would from a combo unit. How much you want to spend on these is also important, while there is little you can gain from spending more money on a DAC, spending more on an AMP, can and often does offer a better sound or a more colorful sound depending on context. Of course you have to have the Hearing and the Headphones/speakers to hear the difference. **Q: Does connection headphones disconnects pre-out on the back of the unit?** A: plugging in headphones doesn't seem to cut outputs on back, at least on the one I have now, but I have had bad luck with this unit. **Q: Is this the zen dac v2?** A: Hi, This is the ZEN CAN, which is a headphone amplifier. Due to high demand the ZEN DAC V2 is currently out of stock but will be back in shortly. Thanks iFi audio **Q: Output at 32 ohm?** A: From the manual of iFi Zen DAC: Inputs The Fi audio ZEN CAN features two inputs; single-ended RCA (1M Ohm) and balanced 4.4mm (24k Ohm). The ZEN CAN’s dedicated input stage adjusts its input levels to match connected sources, but at the same time it avoids loading them and allows for constant Class A operation and lowest distortion Max Output 1. Output SE >7.6V/196 mW (@ 300 Ohm) >7.2V/1600 mW (@ 32 Ohm) 2. Output Balanced >15.1V/385 mW (@ 600 Ohm) >11.0V/1890 mW (@ 64 Ohm) ## Frequently Bought Together - iFi ZEN CAN Balanced Desktop Headphone Amp and Preamp with 4.4mm Outputs (UK PIN) - iFi Cable Series 4.4mm to 4.4mm Balanced Male to Male Connector --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/223611727-ifi-zen-can-balanced-desktop-headphone-amp-and-preamp](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/223611727-ifi-zen-can-balanced-desktop-headphone-amp-and-preamp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
