iFi audio Presents, ZEN CAN 3...Serenity in Every Detail

You can save yourself more by not buying any additional power supply.
In 99% of use cases, the difference in performance if any is negligible.

You can always return if you cant hear a difference.

Got myself a Used Zen Dac Signature v2. Listening Dave Matthew Band on this setup makes me drools.

Is there a way to power the zen can and zen DAC from a single outlet ?

You could just power the Zen Can and let the Zen DAC be powered from its USB source if that's feasible for your use case.

My source is mostly my phone so I want it to be powered with another source

I see, in that case, yes unfortunately you would need to power both.

Cheers!!

No way to chain the DAC/Can ?

Not power-wise no, perhaps a single power supply with 2 separate 5V outputs may work for you.

Is it not possible to use an extension outlet from your power source? I am in the States and I use power strips and extension cords all the time.

The iFi product I know of off the top of my head that does that is the Pro iDSD Line.

Cheers!!

There may be chance that the power of the zen dac alone is sufficient for your cans.
