FAQs
I see three inputs on the ZEN CAN's rear. Which one does what?
Those inputs are balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn, a single-ended 3.5mm and single-ended RCA. If your DAC has balanced outputs, then
ZEN DAC’s balanced input is the one to use. Otherwise each ZEN DAC’s single-ended input will do just fine.
Why does the ZEN CAN feature only one output?
To take the full advantage of ZEN CAN's balanced architecture, it features only a 4.4mm Pentaconn output.
What type of power supply will work with the ZEN CAN?
Any external power supply able to provide DC 5V/2.5A will work. For optimal results please use our iPower X/iPower. If USB outputs in
your computer/laptop are within listed specs, it's possible to power the ZEN CAN from these ports as well, and thus avoid the usage of
external power supply.
It’s worth knowing that the ZEN CAN appreciates more than 2.5A, and can handle up to 4A peaks.
I see no switch to have the ZEN CAN's balanced output fixed. Why?
The ZEN CAN was designed to operate as a high-quality headphone amplifier, but also as a fully-balanced preamplifier, which is why its
balanced output is regulated.
