## Questions & Answers

**Q: unit only? what does it mean?**
A: Hi

Thanks for your question.

This means that you will only get the ZEN DAC V2, we have included this as occasionally we sell bundles with products and we wanted to make it clear that this was only the ZEN DAC V2 on its own.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks
iFi audio

**Q: If i get the zen dac and the zen can, which one do i plug my headphones into and control volume from?**
A: You can use the line out on the dac and use the Can with the headphones plugged into it to control the volume.
There are other options as well.
Typically the worry is that you under or over drive the amp  with the dac, but in this case they are paired well so over driving shouldn't be a concern.
But take a few opinions

**Q: Hi. will this work well with the ifi zen can?**
A: Hi,

Thanks for your question.

The ZEN CAN is a perfect pairing for the ZEN DAC, you can connect them together VIA a 4.4mm to 4.4mm interconnect cable or the included RCA cables.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
iFi audio

**Q: can I set the volume knob at a fixed position and then ride the volume on the software UI for playback control, like winamp or on youtube videos?**
A: Yes you can. But keep in mind, that when you turn down the volume digitally before it gets to the dac/amp you are effectively reducing the bit depth of the audio. In other words you are removing "range" of volume, whereas lowering the volume on the amp does not do this.

Does this matter? Not usually, but just keep it in mind. I'd try to keep thy computer volume in the upper ranges and do small adjustments. If you want to listen quite low then turn the dac down a bit rather than letting the pc volume be very low.

*by S***N on 16 November 2023*

I bought This Amp/dac for powering up my ATH-M50X which this headphone dose not need a powerful amp but this zen dac v2 was not a joke. it was soo good to be true and the balance output was in another level of sound quality which it was perfect for a balance neutral sound headphones. I even tried a more power hunger headphones like the dt 770 pro 250ohm and this amp/dac really surprised me, it drove it with ease. I really recommend for everyone that wants a powerful amp/dac and dose not want to put a fortune on it. 10/10 product no problem or issue with, Just a reminder to anyone wants to use it on a console update the firmware for the device to the latest update
