There’s an open box special at MusicBytes for 11% off

I also suggest you add an iDefender+ and iPowerX (5V) into the mix

No harm in giving this a try

Excuse me if I hijack this thread but has anyone compared the single ended output of the xCan with the balanced output? I read a few reviews of the xCan but can't seem to find any relevant information. I wonder if it's worth the hassle of reterminating my Shure SE846. It sounds fabulous on the single ended output but I wonder if there is more to be had. It's obviously not about power but are there differences in sounds quality?

All good. Most feedback we got about xCAN's headphone outs is that its balanced out is better. Not that surprising considering xCAN's internal amplifier stage is balanced

If I were you, I would give this a try if possible!

If I decide to be bold enough to walk around the house with my 1266 ø TCs, would the xCAN be a good choice?

Please see our handy headphone calculator here: https://ifi-audio.com/home/headphone-calculator/

With these cans our xCAN's balanced headphone out would produce 119dB SPL, so would be loud enough for sure

What's the difference between the xDSD and xCAN?

What's the difference between the xDSD and xCAN?

xDSD was designed as a DAC in the first place and a headphone amp to broaden its functionalities, whereas xCAN reverses this order. So the choice between them narrows down to what one is after in the first place; a DAC or headphone amp.
