iFi Audio Pro iCAN Signature Headphone Amplifier / Stereo Preamplifier

 

The iFi Audio Pro iCAN Signature Headphone Amplifier / Stereo Preamplifier is a top-of-the-line piece of equipment that is sure to take your listening experience to the next level. With its upgraded edition of the original Pro iCAN, the Signature edition is designed with even more ultra-grade audiophile components to provide exceptional sound quality. No matter the type of headphones you use, the Pro iCAN Signature has the power to drive them all, from the most sensitive custom iEMs to the notoriously difficult to drive AKG K-1000. This is thanks to its fully differential balanced circuit design, which reduces interference and crosstalk, resulting in cleaner, deeper, and more dynamic sound.

The Pro iCAN Signature boasts a maximum balanced output power of >14,000mW and a maximum single-ended power output of >4,800mW, making it one of the most powerful headphone amplifiers on the market. And with variable gain, you have the flexibility to adjust the settings to match your specific headphones. One of the standout features of the Pro iCAN Signature is its ability to switch between solid-state and tube sound with just the flick of a switch. This means you can enjoy the best of both worlds and choose the sound that best suits your preferences and the type of music you're listening to.

But the Pro iCAN Signature isn't just about exceptional sound quality. It also includes our signature sonic tweaks, such as XBass and 3D Holographic settings, which allow you to customise the sound to your personal taste and system. Plus, with a variety of balanced and single-ended connections, you have the flexibility to connect to all types of headphones and systems.

The Pro iCAN Signature comes with the flagship iPOWER Elite power supply, providing buttery smooth music with a power supply board that is up to 300% quieter. This attention to detail is what sets this product apart and ensures the cleanest, purest power for your listening pleasure.

Knows no fear

The Pro iCAN Signature is our new upgraded edition of the original Pro iCAN.

The Signature edition builds on the strengths of the Pro iCAN and features even more ultra-grade audiophile components designed to take your listening to a higher plane than ever  before.

It is a top-of-the-line headphone amplifier that is capable of driving anything and everything from the most sensitive custom iEMs to the AKG K-1000, the most difficult to drive headphone ever made.

 

Amp it up to ultra

Enhancements to the Pro iCAN Signature include:

• Revised circuit design incorporates even more ultra-grade audiophile components
• Upgraded power supply circuits to eradicate even more noise and distortion
• Top of the range iPower Elite offboard AC/DC power supply included
• Hand-selected and matched tubes in the output stage
• 4.4mm Balanced-headphone output
• New aluminium remote control

 

Beautifully balanced Pro power

The Pro iCAN Signature sports an end-to-end fully differential balanced circuit design that delivers ultra low distortion. This means extraordinary quality with minimal interference and reduced crosstalk. The sound is cleaner, deeper and more dynamic.

It is also exceptionally powerful and will drive any headphone on the planet. It boasts a maximum balanced output power of >14,000mW and a maximum single-ended power output of >4,800mW.

And with variable gain, you can adjust the Pro iCAN Signature to drive your headphone of choice.

 

To tube or not to tube…?

Or to Tube+? That is the question.

With the Pro iCAN Signature you can enjoy the sound of solid-state or tubes in one single package.

For some of your recordings, and depending on whether you are listening through headphones or speakers, you may prefer the ‘lively’ feel of solid-state or for others, the more ‘luxurious’ feel of Tube or Tube+.

The choice is yours at the flick of a switch in real time.

 

Signature by name…

The Pro iCAN Signature wouldn’t be ours without our signature sonic tweaks. Just like the original, it boasts XBass and 3D Holographic settings so that you can calibrate sound to suit your system and personal taste.

XBass is our analogue ‘bass boost’ that enhances the low frequencies without muddying the mid-range.

3D Holographic for Headphones undoes the negative sonic impact of listening to recordings that were originally created for loudspeakers.

3D Holographic for Loudspeaker Systems corrects the spatial distortion and restores the natural soundstage.

 

Get connected

The Pro iCAN Signature boasts a plethora of fully balanced and single-ended connections.

Headphone connections include the new 4.4mm Balanced output as well as a fully balanced XLR, a single-ended 6.3mm and our unique S-Balanced 3.5mm output.

Our S-Balanced output cuts distortion by 50% with single-ended headphones connections.

 

Power is everything.

The Pro iCAN Signature, ships with our flagship iPOWER Elite.

Coupled with the re-crafted power supply board which is up to 300% quieter, the music is buttery smooth.

Within and without – we left no stone unturned in our quest for the cleanest, purest power for the Pro iCAN Signature (same for Pro iDSD Signature too!)

 

	Sonically superior – richer, deeper. The XBass® analogue bass correction system corrects for the missing headphone/speaker bass response.
	Power like no other. Super-powerful maximum 14,000mW headphone output power.
	Gain is adjustable from 0dB/9dB/18dB. It can output more than 10V in Single-Ended mode and 20V in Balanced-mode. The 20V mode is equivalent 100W into a 40 Ohm speaker.
	An ‘Out of Head’ listening experience. Our 3D Holographic® dual-analogue matrices place the artist with you in the room, not inside your head.
	You can switch from solid-state to tubes in real time. There are 2 tube settings; Tube and Tube+. The Tube+ position reduces overall loop-gain and thus negative feedback to the minimum. This gives a different trade-off between the tube’s natural harmonics and the transient performance.
	The iFi exclusive S-Balanced technology made its debut in the original Pro iCAN. Since then, it has become a significant feature in across the iFi range and features in the Pro iCAN Signature as expected. It delivers the maximum performance from both single-ended and balanced headphones. The S-Balanced (single-ended compatible balanced) 3.5mm headphone output delivers the benefits of the balanced connection to single-ended headphones.
	The new Pro iCAN Signature is full-differential balanced. That is, there are totally separate left & right channels with their own +/- all the way through. This exquisitely engineered design costs more but the way it moves you and the music is worth it.
