iFi audio xCAN - The Official Thread

[iFi audio]

Weird pirate references wont get me commenting on the thread... oh wait :/

See? Not that difficult, ain't it ?

Any info re: power specs, etc.?

The retail price of the xCAN is US$299 (ex-tax) or €349/£299 (incl VAT).

Ok thanks iFi!

I was expecting it to be around there too. I figured with the Sabre DAC (which is still a great DAC) it would be less vs. Burr Brown.

I'm guessing no, but any chance the xCAN will have LDAC? lol

See here kukk! Scroll way down for pics too!!

If xCAN can drive full size planar properly it will be great.

I see the max of 1W, but I'm wondering what impedance that is at (and ideally output at different impedances) as well as single ended vs. balanced.

iFi, please advice on impedance at 1W (or mW?) if you can. I assume too this info will be available this Friday (10/25) as well.

Very interesting. I like iFi products, owned an iDSD micro BL, and I’ve been looking for a small headphone amp to use with my Qutest DAC. A couple more days ...

To be perfectly honest, we like our stuff too.

Folks, the very first post of this thread, please take a look for yourselves!

Dual-mono headphone amplifier with 1000mW of power per channel, which can unleash the full potential of both 32ohm and 600ohm headphones

I'm gueeeesssing that it's not 1000mW at both 32 and 600ohm, though : )

(Or on single-ended, probably.)

Which version of Bluetooth is being used? 5.0 I hope.

One other question since I’ve never seen in person the xDSD/xCAN chassis ... is the shiny part of the case metal or plastic, and if metal, what type?

Manganese alloy, and it is sooo nice to touch!
