Review: High power with very low distortion Excellent amplifier for headphones
Review: Je dois bien avouer, que j’ai été agréablement surpris lorsque j’ai écouté pour la 1er fois le ZEN CAN 3. Je l’ai associé avec mon FX-Audio DR07, qui possède 2 puces AKM 4493 et que j’ai upgradé avec deux OPA BUSON V5i, ainsi que par une alimentation linéaire. Le rendu était déjà chaleureux et précis, avec une séparation et une superposition des instruments et des voix assez remarquable. Eh bien avec le ZEN CAN 3 en bout de source, la dynamique c’est considérablement améliorée, la scène sonore est encore meilleure et j’obtiens plus de précision et des définitions. Je perds juste un peu en chaleur et J’obtiens ses résultats sans avoir à utiliser les options audio, tel que Xbass ou Xspace… Cet ampli est vraiment impressionnant, ses performances audio son excellentes et la qualité de fabrication de très haut niveau, franchement il n’y a rien à dire il vaut largement son prix. En plus il est très compact et vraiment joli. Je le recommande à 100%, tant pour sa qualité de fabrication exceptionnelle que pour ses qualités audio surprenantes ! Je suis tellement satisfait par cet ampli, que je viens juste de commandé le ZEN DAC V3 pour faire le combo parfait !

Mi sono sempre trovato bene con i prodotti ifi e questo non fa eccezione. Non sto a parlare di caratteristiche tecniche, per quelle il sito del produttore è prodigo di indicazioni, ma mi limiterò a dire che la qualità di questo amplificatore per cuffie è davvero notevole. Il suono è pulito e cristallino, con la tonalità leggermente calda e musicale tipica dei prodotti ifi. Di potenza ne ha da vendere direi: non ho pilotato cuffie con impedenza più alta di 300 Ohm, ma visto come va con le Sennheiser HD660S2, direi che non dovrebbe avere problemi anche con impedenze più alte. L'alimentazione è da 5v, quindi può essere alimentato anche da un power bank, diventando una soluzione non proprio portatile, ma quantomeno trasportabile. Se avete già il precedente modello, direi che potete tranquillamente evitare l'upgrade, a meno che non sappiate resistere al nuovo frontalino. Per il resto direi che l'unica differenza lampante sono un paio di filtri per i film ed il gaming, assolutamente trascurabili.
