Is it safe to use the single ended input with a Chromecast?
Also, could I use the 4.4 Balanced output to my power amp (with the right adaptor cable)?

jyeoYes, if your Chromecast has a 1/8" (3.5mm) jack, you can connect it directly to the corresponding input on the Zen Can.
And yes, with the right adaptor cable, you can connect to your power amp from the 4.4mm balanced output. I own this unit and use this output to feed another headphone amp or powered monitors. In this way, the Zen Can can be used as a pre-amp with a buttery-smooth volume knob.

jyeoNo problem. One more thing...
While the iFi Signature Amps have 3.5mm single-ended (SE) and 4.4mm Balanced headphone outputs, they do not have a SE line-out or pre-out.
So iFi made a 3.5mm to 4.4mm Balanced Adapter that can be used to convert a 4.4mm balanced signal to 3.5m single-ended (SE). Its two primary use cases:
[1] Plugged into the Signature Amp's rear 4.4mm pre-out jack for use with speaker/headphone amplifiers that only have SE inputs, like regular 3.5mm or RCA. (In this way, the Signature Amp would be used as a pre-amp.)
[2] For use with regular (3.5mm SE) headphones to convert the balanced signal from amplifiers that only have balanced-outs, such as the xDuoo MT-604.

mattrisThanks. I plan to use the 4.4 out to an old 90s amp so I don't have to manually change it's input between my Chromecast and my CD player. The ifi will just be a pre amp unless I want to use only headphones

jyeoSounds like a good idea. In that case, that particular iFi Balanced Adapter would work for you... in conjunction with a male 3.5mm (1/8" stereo phono jack) to RCA cable of your choice.
Unlike other similar adapters, I can confirm that it works perfectly. It's T-shaped and is available on Amazon and other audio-centric webstores.
All the best.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
