First Headphone amp
The Headphone Bar was once again a pleasure to deal with. The service was very good. I have a set of Sennhieiser HD599 cans and was told by The Headphone Bar they would respond favourably to the Xbass feature on the IFI amp. They were spot on. I am not a fan of bass boost at all but this is a great combination. This is a great little amp and I would highly recommend. BTW it it $20.00 cheaper than Amazon.

Great sounding can for the money
I was using the Zen dac to power my headphones and it performed just great however I decided to add the Zen can and use the two units together, that was a good idea. There is an improvement in the overall sound quality using the combo and now im ready to purchase almost any hard to drive headphone without having to worry about having enough juice to power them. This is my third ifi product and all 3 are built rock solid and function flawlessly.

Affordable power boost
Pretty happy with this combined with my ZEN DAC. Lots of power to drive almost anything out there. The bass boost is nice for headphones lacking that low end some may be wanting (I enjoy it with my Sindaras and 6XX.) Only thing keeping this from being perfect is the lack of a balanced cable in the box especially when it's marketed to complement the ZEN DAC.

Very Capable Amp
Too soon to say for certain, but initial impression is very favorable. My headphones are low impedance suitable for portable devices, however they are planar magnetic so I was curious what a little power boost would do for them. Woke them up nicely, better bass presence, and vocal presentation even at lower volumes. Overall, can tell the drivers are performing better through all ranges with the extra power applied. Only drawback, had to get a 4.4mm x 4.4mm balanced cable custom made since they currently are not readily available. Equipment: iFi Zen Can amp, FiiO M11 pro, Cayin N6ii E02, DCA Aeon Flow 2 closed with balanced cable.
