The iFi Pro iCAN SIGNATURE tube preamplifier and headphone amplifier is the quintessence of the know-how of the brand itself supported by the prestigious company AMR. Based on a hybrid circuit of transistors and tubes, the iFi Pro iCAN SIGNATURE embeds the best of these two technologies and not a caricatural compromise.
We can therefore choose the sound as desired by inserting the tube or only transistor sound into the circuit.
The stereo input is via a very low distortion fast JFET transistor stage accompanied by a bipolar stage assisted by a class A Mosfet stage. The tube stage is amplified by two 5670 GEs as close as possible to the ALPS "Black Beauty" potentiometer. "6-track in true balanced mode.
Thus the iFi pro iCAN SIGNATURE stereo preamplifier is fully symmetrical from input to output on a 4-layer printed circuit.
The circuit diagram fully optimized in current-coupled mode has no capacitors in its path that could degrade the original signal.
Only handpicked components are in this preamplifier: Vishay MELF capacitors, TDK COG for the audio part, Elna Silmic II and Panasonic Foil for the power supply part.
This symmetrical stereo preamplifier is a studio quality headphone amplifier capable of delivering very high power (14000mW) to "drive" any of the most demanding symmetrical audiophile models, in particular models from Sennheiser, Audeze and Hifiman.
Like any high-end headphone amplifier, the gain is fully adjustable in three positions: 0dB, 9dB, 18dB.
