just be sure that you will be feeding out from the 4.4mm jack (eg to ‘balanced XLR’).Can Zen CAN, be used as a preamp before an poweramp?
I am thinking of: Computer USB -> iFi ZEN ONE Signature -> iFi ZEN CAN Signature -> Poweramp -> Speakers
most of my older power amps have not way to interface with the rear of the unit (the 4.4mm output), but I could always use the front headphone output, ie single ended, and use a 3.5mm to 2x phono/RCA plugs and then you can use power amps going back to before the eighties…
Not sure which model poweramps you are using, but this is important to make sure that they can handshake easily, and that you buy knowing what you want to do.
Ideally you would have a power amp that has XLR inputs, and is then happy to use a fairly standard ‘iFi’ 4.4mm to 2xXLR cable
Others may have more suggestions on this topic… just making sure you know to have the right parts ready to go when you want to hook it all up.
Cheers
