Hey all, It's Julie from iFi again. I dropped some info over on the ZEN DAC signature product page and thought would be good to share this compatibility chart here for the ZEN CAN Signature 6XX.
Also, if youd like to check out the following thread, we are sharing the fuller indepth tech there:

Hi all, we just wanted to share more info on the two products. Whilst they are not mutually exclusive and can certainly work standalone- the best set up to drive your HD 6XX is to have both. Let us explain why:
THE ENDGAME SET UP- ZEN DAC Signature + ZEN Can Signature 6XX + Drop HD 6XX
(TL;DR) Your Sennheiser HD6XX headphones give you a smooth, laid-back presentation. Its neutral response provides a pleasant listening experience with any music genre. Though connecting to a laptop or average digital converter/headphone amplifier will always mean the last 20-30% of the full potential is not fully realised.
The 'endgame' solution is the iFi dedicated ZEN DAC Signature and ZEN CAN Signature 6XX. These premium versions of the ZEN series were uniquely developed for Drop customers.
This magical combination means Drop HD 6XX* enjoyment is ‘turbocharged’ to eleven:
Before, your HD6XX sounded a bit like using a Mini to pull an Airstream.
You are moving, but always wishing if you could ‘floor it?’
With the iFi combo, as the saying goes, ‘there is no replacement for displacement’ so the ZEN DAC Signature and the ZEN CAN Signature give you turbocharged sound quality AND oomph to properly drive your Sennheiser HD6XX.
When you ‘drive’ your Sennheiser HD6XX with the premium DAC & CAN Signatures, the full potential will be realised. We are talking 15v at 300 Ohms which gives the poise and power not found anywhere else. *Please see Compatibility chart to check other models.
Hope this helps, as always any questions please!

This magical combination means Drop HD 6XX* enjoyment is ‘turbocharged’ to eleven:
- ZEN DAC Signature gives far superior music enjoyment from TIDAL Masters to Spotify. Instead of average audio quality in your phone, tablet or laptop you get music quality that befits the best setups. Built with the best components such as Sanyo OSCONs, it is a premium version of our ZEN DAC
- ZEN CAN Signature 6XX is the only one on the market with dedicated equalisation and 15v@300 Ohms output power. Both of which are a bit special. All underpinned by boutique components such as Elna Silmics II.

Thanks Julie, it looks like the 'emergency meeting' between iFi and Drop had an effect. At least, a followup email from Drop today was a bit more apologetic and customer friendly than the first one I received today (which was basically, hey, too bad, we are now trying to get it to you by 2nd Dec, but no promises).
I almost canceled my order after receiving this first email.

I actually was able to pick up the Signature stack for $170 each on ebay costing $340 which I find more reasonable. already owning the regular IFI Zen Can and Dac stack, I was able to compare the sound difference. After going back and forth with both stacks, I must say the Signature Can does sound much better then the regular Can. I can hear the sound is fuller and brighter on the Signature stack and the bass is also more pronounced. I needed to have bass boost on all the time on the original Zen Can, to get what is the normal sound of the Signature Can, which offered a richer fuller sound. I actually shipped back the normal IFI Zen Can/Amp back.

Update on order status:
Earlier today we had an emergency meeting with iFi regarding the status of your order.
We fully understand your frustration for the delays and lapse in communication, and can only apologize for that. We can confirm the orders left iFi on time and the units have been received at our warehouse. We are working with our warehouse team to get further clarification on the shipping timeline of everyone’s orders.
In a couple of days, we’ll be updating the discussion board with the new confirmed ship date.
Thank you so much for your patience.

Well, I got notification that mine is on the way yesterday. So the wait is not much longer.

If you decide to purchase this product, don't buy the 4.4 mm interconnect. It's a really gorgeous cable but it's truly overpriced. HART AUDIO CABLES has 8" interconnects for $20.

I have a question, how do you connect the Zen CAN Original/Signature to your PC?

If you are just trying to connect the amp to the PC (no dac in between), you will need a 3.5mm to RCA cable. You can find them for cheap on Amazon or something.

What size cable should I be using for my 6xx's to plug into the balanced headphone port? The default is too small, the adapter is too large. Thank you.

If I purchased this product from Japan, can the included ipower X be used in Japan?

Thank you.
However, Japanese household power is supplied at 100V, so it's out of range...

Oh I see. That's odd. Chances are it will still work really but I can't be certain

Has anyone had a problem with their unit being improperly grounded?
When turning volume knob I get electrical static. If I touch the unit while turning the knob, static goes away? Seems like a grounding issue to me.
Can someone smarter than me weigh in :-)

Question: If I wanted to use this Zen Can with my current DAC/Amp combo––how would I connect it to my external audio system which only has RCA inputs? (My current DAC/Amp has a front headphone jack and external RCA jacks that are connected to my system.) Thanks!
