I tried doing the power match but sadly didnât help. I have it set up so the Zen Dac is feeding the Zen Can via a 4.4 cable. Volume on the Dac is set to zero with power match and truebass off.
Have the Can set to 0db but still here some hiss. Iâm guessing its just due to the OH10 being more sensitive.
Its a shame as I was running them on the balanced port at under 50% volume.
He is talking about this guy right here. There is a 2.5mm version as well but would also need a 2.5mm to 4.4mm adapter to use that with the zen can balanced output

Thanks for the link I didnât know about that little device. Iâm kinda lucky as I already have a ddhifi 2.5 to 4.4 adapter for some reason.

What is that like?
Iâd be curious to know too!

Hey guys can anybody recomend me a DAC with optical in that pairs well with the Zen CAN? I need the optical-in cause I have my consoles routed through my g6 too! Or do you think the g6 is good enough for the Can? A shame zen dac doesnât have optical-in would have loved to try it.
Your G6 measures better than the Zen Can. So I would keep it as your DAC.
If you need something with a remote because the Zen Can is a little far away to adjust the volume You could get a Topping E30.
You can definetly use your G6 routed to the CAN! Very cool that you have your consoles routed to it.
Thanks for the replies guys was quite worried I would do my zen can injustice was a bad dac!

Yeah I play everything on my desktop and I was lucky to have found a cheap method to bypass the unsupported UAC2 of the consoles.
Of course. Happy to be of assistance.

@sebastien_chiu_iFi hey Sebastien, I have the Zen CAN stacked off a Zen DAC og and itâs volume dial affects the CAN. what is the recommended advice for what to have the Zen DAC volume set to so you can use the CANâs dial as the master.
I have the DAC sent to full volume, as thatâs whatâs recommended you do with the volume on your your source and any software being used to stream.
HAAAH! 42 and still learning. Thanks Nm! 
NP man. i took me a bit to figure out too.

If I remember correctly the truebass function doesnât work anymore if you set it to fixed. So if you prefer the stronger truebass over the xbass you would have to leave it on variable and the knob on max.

being the CAN has itâs own bass boosting function, thatâs not a big deal, though could be an annoyance if you wanted to use headphones off the DAC and the CAN simultaneously.
X-Bass is better then true bass as it is a bit more subtle but more importantly doesnât affect the mids. With Truebass the mids are impacted as well as the bass.
More bass.
