iFi audio xCAN - the official thread

Sorry - never said thanks. Been out of action for a while. Okay, so looks like I need a DAC/amp - the xDSD then. What's the Bluetooth like? I've heard that I shold really stick to wires as Bluetooth can be ropey as hell??????????

All good. We did our homework on Bluetooth to have it far better than most similar solutions and we gathered positive feedback on how it sounds like in comparison to wired connections.

Please see here what we did: https://ifi-audio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/iFi-audio-xCAN-Tech-Note.pdf

If there are any questions, feel free to ask!
 
Okay - thanks for the tech note. Look like it might do the trick. What this I've seen on your site about a ZEN Blue?????? Also Bluetooth? Doesn't look poratble though.... Would love to knowe more......???

ZEN Blue is our latest, affordable and desktop device. It hasn't officially launched yet, but we'll post the official press release very shortly.
 
Let's make a small detour from the usual hardware stuff to one of our crew, Aimée. She was kind enough to answer several questions, so here goes!

What's your role at iFi?


I'm the company's Marketing Assistant, which means that I share my time between regular office work and iFi audio's social media


What's your favourite iFi device and why?


My favourite iFi product is the xDSD. It was my first-ever DAC/Amp, and I've never let go. I love it because it's portable, so I can clean, cook, work and travel while listening through my headphones!


What type of music do you listen to?


My music preference definitely depends on my mood and it ranges from folk, alternative rock, reggae rock and indie pop, to pretty much any 70's & 80's music, jazz, and western classical (when I'm in the 'focus mode').


What are your favourite headphones/IEMs?


To be honest, I don't think I've found my 'favourite' headphones yet...there's too many to choose from! I'll try whatever is available at our UK office and there's a lot of stuff in there. HifiMan and Meze just to name two brands. I like Susvaras A LOT but rarely can use them! While I may not have found 'the one' just yet, I'll give a try to whatever lands near my desk.
