iFi ZEN CAN Signature 6XX

Product Features and Controls

1. Power switch

2. Input channel switch

   • Input 1: RCA
   • Input 2: Single-ended 3.5mm
   • Input 3: Balanced 4.4mm

3. PowerMatch selection: 0dB/6dB/12dB/18dB

   It is recommended to start from 0dB and then increase the switchable gain level to attain an enjoyable and comfortable level of volume from the headphones.

   Warning: At the outset do not use excessive gain, otherwise damage to hearing or connected headphones may ensue. iFi audio is not responsible for any damage/injury from misuse.

4. Analogue Volume Control

   At normal listening levels, the volume control should be around the 12 o'clock position. Increase the gain level to enjoy a higher listening level.

5. Single-ended 6.3mm output

   For connecting single-ended 6.3mm headphones. With single-ended 3.5mm headphones, connect with a 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter.

6. Balanced 4.4mm analogue output

   For connecting balanced 4.4mm headphones.

   Tip: As the Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones use a balanced design, the 4.4mm balanced output is recommended.

7. HD 6XX LED

   Headphone corrections optimized for Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones.

8. XSpace® Matrix LED

   The XSpace® Matrix (on/off) recreates a holographic sound field. It is a pure analogue signal processing circuit designed for listening to headphones as if one was listening to speakers. This addresses the 'music inside the head' sensation, which makes for unsettling listening.

   Tip: Sonically-hindering DSP is NOT used for HD 6XX nor XSpace® Matrix systems. They use the highest-quality discrete components and operate purely in the analogue domain. Hence all the clarity and resolution of the original music is retained.

9. Settings

   This button chooses between:

   • Off
   • HD 6XX
   • XSpace®
