Description

iFi was born in 2012 with one goal in mind: to produce ultra-fidelity audio products that push the sonic envelope whilst still priced within the mainstream.

iFi audio is under our parent company, AMR, Abbingdon Music Research, which designs and produces top-end luxurious audio products. AMR saw in 2010 that customer demand for wireless and portable headphones was expanding as the whole audio dynamic was changing. Thus, iFi was launched.

iFi offers small but prodigious personal audio products thanks to the superior knowledge of AMR’s technology. Today, we are proud of our British (and international) roots. We continue to design and produce over 35 different products. We are headquartered in Southport, UK with distribution including retailers such as B&H and etailz with production overseas.

We source parts from around the world from manufacturers including AMOS (UK), GE Valves (USA), WIMA (Germany) and TDK (Japan).

iFi xCAN

The xCAN is a force of nature. Our new portable headphone amplifier gives DAPs (Digital Audio Players) the amplification boost they often lack or can work as an amp to sweeten streaming from your smartphone. And weve added Bluetooth - just to add that Xtra, just because we xCAN.

Tear up the rulebook because music has leapt into the future with the iFi xCAN.

At home or on the go, our latest headphone amplifier delivers energy, power and freedom in one truly portable package.

Audio that’s ahead of its time.

Delivering high quality Bluetooth connectivity, and capable of storing up to eight wireless devices at once, the xCAN enables you to stream your favourite music from:

  • iTunes
  • Spotify
  • Apple Music
  • Tidal

As well as listening to your favourite artists, box sets and movies on your smartphone, portable audio device, laptop, home audio system and TV at the same time.

Add to that a 1000mW of power per channel and dual mono amplifier and your are rocking!

The xCAN is both wireless and wired, which means it works with both speakers and headphones.

Our S-Balanced technology means its compatible with all single and balanced headphones and iEMs.

With its smooth contours, futuristic metallic design and up to eighteen hours of battery life, you’ll want to take it everywhere.

Cyberdrive

The ‘Cyberdrive’ headphone amplifier stage is one of the pivotal new circuit designs in the xCAN. This new design places all parameters of the fully analogue system under digital control for a ‘best of both worlds scenario’. Performance is increased, both noise and distortion are lowered.

Global Master Timing

The xCAN comes with built-in Global Master Timing from AMR so jitter is a thing of the past. This represents a total ‘out of the box’ systematic digital solution that solves the digital jitter problem once and for all.

Dual-mono Power House

The xCAN rocks a dual-mono headphone amplifier with 1000mW of power per channel which can unleash the full potential of both 32ohm and 600ohm headphones. The xCAN offers balanced in/out to take full advantage of the growing availability of balanced sources and headphones. The 2.5mm balanced headphone jack means that the xCAN can be used to boost the amplification of high end DAPs.
