iFi xCan - DAC/Amp
xCAN
The xCAN simply makes your music sound better, whether you are listening via ear buds at home or chilling with tunes on the go.
Our portable headphone amplifier is sure to give your music a superior sound.
The mother of all amplifiers
The xCAN is a portable amplifier above all else and is for anyone who enjoys good sound.
Using a high-end DAP that has an adequate onboard DAC but lacks power? Happy with your existing source but need more juice?
Just add the xCAN to drive bigger and better headphones and boost your tunes.
Blinding Bluetooth
The xCAN delivers CD-Quality Bluetooth via AAC, aptX and aptX LL with added iFi magic.
Stream wirelessly from your smartphone. Bluetooth from your TV to the xCAN. No need for wires. Just plug your headphones into the xCAN at your side.
Give soundtracks extra energy. Add oomph to your gaming! Hear the whoosh of an arrow or the full throttle of F1 car in all their glory.
Wicked wiring
Connect via a digital SPDIF or via analogue 2.5/3.5 connection. iFi’s exclusive S-Balanced technology means that you gain the advantages of a balanced connection even when using an unbalanced one.
On headphones this means lower distortion, less interference and less crosstalk.
And it enables you to take advantage of the growing number of balanced sources, such as high-end DAPs.
A pure power house
The xCAN is a dual-mono headphone amplifier with 1000mW of power per channel. It will happily drive your favourite headphones.
And we added our signature sonic extras as well.
3D+® opens up your music to give you the spaciousness of a live-concert atmosphere.
The XBass Ⅱ® analogue bass correction system corrects headphone/speaker bass response to deliver a more natural sound to the midrange frequencies.
Clever. Curvy.
The xCAN smart battery provides up to 18 hours of playback time (analogue) or 12 hours (Bluetooth) depending on your choice of headphones. That’s one very long train journey!
And finally, check out the curvy chassis and lush LEDs. The xCAN is one lovely lady.
The unit boasts a dual-mono headphone amplifier with 1000mW of power per channel which can unleash the full potential of both 32ohm through to 600ohm headphones. It offers balanced in/out to take full advantage of the growing availability of balanced sources and headphones. The 2.5mm balanced headphone jack means the it can be used to boost the amplification of high-end DAPs.

iFi’s exclusive S-Balanced® circuit delivers maximum performance from single-ended and balanced headphones alike.
See our Tech Note to dig deeper.
This unit features the iFi Cyberdrive® headphone amplifier stage. You won’t find it in Star Wars or Star Trek. Unravel its mysteries here.
We use our parent company AMR's Global Master Timing® (GMT)/ Memory Buffer System. It represents a total ‘out of the box’ systematic digital solution that solves the problem of digital SPDIF jitter once and for all.
With a separate power input (USB Type C) to charge the internal battery, it does not draw from your smartphone or playback device.
Playback time is 12 (via Bluetooth® as input) to 18 (as analogue amplifier only) hours.
