unit only? what does it mean?

Hi Thanks for your question. This means that you will only get the ZEN DAC V2, we have included this as occasionally we sell bundles with products and we wanted to make it clear that this was only the ZEN DAC V2 on its own. I hope this makes sense. Thanks iFi audio

If i get the zen dac and the zen can, which one do i plug my headphones into and control volume from?

You can use the line out on the dac and use the Can with the headphones plugged into it to control the volume. There are other options as well. Typically the worry is that you under or over drive the amp with the dac, but in this case they are paired well so over driving shouldn't be a concern. But take a few opinions

Hi. will this work well with the ifi zen can?

Hi, Thanks for your question. The ZEN CAN is a perfect pairing for the ZEN DAC, you can connect them together VIA a 4.4mm to 4.4mm interconnect cable or the included RCA cables. I hope this helps. Thanks iFi audio

can I set the volume knob at a fixed position and then ride the volume on the software UI for playback control, like winamp or on youtube videos?

Yes you can. But keep in mind, that when you turn down the volume digitally before it gets to the dac/amp you are effectively reducing the bit depth of the audio. In other words you are removing "range" of volume, whereas lowering the volume on the amp does not do this. Does this matter? Not usually, but just keep it in mind. I'd try to keep thy computer volume in the upper ranges and do small adjustments. If you want to listen quite low then turn the dac down a bit rather than letting the pc volume be very low.
