Full Description
Hi-Fi Choice Recommended
"It’s impressively powerful, but smart enough to focus that power so that it adds impact without compromising sound quality. And, with Bluetooth streaming and good battery life, it can earn its keep when you’re away from home too."
Stereonet Applause Award 2019
"The xCAN is one of those products where I feel that I should find a weakness just to make the review more interesting. However, save its love for collecting fingerprints, I honestly cannot find a downside to buying one. The little portable amp is reasonably priced at just under £300, performs brilliantly and even throws in some slick Bluetooth skills for good measure."
Headfonia Award Winner 2019
"The iFi xCAN provides you a big power, a BAL setup for your BAL system, a great BT DAC/Amp performance with good quality, very nice build quality and a design which is very portable and light."

Cyberdrive
The Cyberdrive headphone amplifier stage is one of the pivotal new circuit design. This new design places all parameters of the fully analogue system under digital control for a ‘best of both worlds scenario.
Jitter Solution
AMR’s Global Master Timing (GMT)/ Memory Buffer System represents a total ‘out of the box’ systematic digital solution that solves the digital SPDIF jitter once and for all.
Charging
With a separate power input (USB Type C) to charge the internal battery, the iFi Audio xCAN does not draw from your smartphone or playback device. Playback time is 12 (via Bluetooth® as input) to 18 (as analogue amplifier only) hours.
