They are loved by artists and audio enthusiasts alike. The ZEN CAN Signature MZ99, with the perfectly matched ActivEQ mode, adjusts the treble for more ‘vivaciousness’, and the enhanced mid-low bass extracts the last drop of sonic goodness from the Meze 99 Classics. The Meze 99 Classics and ZEN CAN Signature MZ99 performance is simply magnificent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e99 is the Magic Number\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSelecting the MZ99 button on the ZEN CAN Signature MZ99 calibrates its signal to complement the headphone’s response characteristics right across the frequency range. This then tunes its performance to work with Meze 99 headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe ZEN CAN Signature MZ99 does not only work with the Meze 99 Classics, but also with the Meze 99 Neo and the Meze 99 by Drop. As with iFi's previous ZEN CAN Signature models, this feature can be switched on or off. Without ActivEQ engaged, the ZEN CAN Signature MZ99’s performance will bring out the best in all other headphones and in-ear monitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePowerMatch and XSpace Technologies\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe ZEN CAN Signature MZ99 has four gain settings in six dB steps – 0dB, 6dB, 12dB and 18db. iFi calls this PowerMatch. This enables the amp to precisely suit the connected headphones. Unity gain (0dB) is useful to ensure low noise with sensitive in-ear monitors, while the higher gain settings make the most of tougher headphone loads, delivering excellent dynamic headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe iFi XSpace analog processing mode compensates for the ‘in-head localization’ effect that can occur when using headphones to listen to music that was mixed using a pair of speakers. It widens the headphone soundstage to deliver a more spacious and speaker-like experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBalanced is Better\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe ZEN CAN Signature MZ99’s circuitry is a balanced, symmetrical dual-mono design, a topology usually reserved for high-end headphone amps. A number of key elements trickle down from the discrete Class A circuitry developed for iFi’s flagship headphone amplifier, the Pro iCAN. Key components have been upgraded to enhance performance in line with the improvements made to the ZEN CAN Signature MZ99, including the use of Panasonic OS-CON and Elna Silmic II capacitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStay Connected\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe ZEN CAN Signature MZ99 offers stereo RCA and 3.5mm single-ended inputs, plus a balanced 4.4mm Balanced input. There is also a 4.4mm balanced output so you can connect to power amps equipped with a balanced input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIt features a pair of headphone outputs – a 6.3mm output for headphones that have a standard single-ended connector (compatible with all headphones), and a 4.4mm Balanced output for headphones offering balanced connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAn increasing number of high-quality headphones and in-ear monitors either come so equipped or give the option of detaching the cable and upgrading to a 4.4mm Balanced connector, and this output makes the most of them (it is particularly recommended for high-impedance headphones).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iFi Audio","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45980579168429,"sku":"NEW-IFZCSMZ99","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/IFZCSMZ99_02-Large__38678.1695214669.1280.1280.jpg?v=1778113559"},{"product_id":"audioquest-type-4-speaker-cable-no-frills-8-foot-single-pins-to-bananas","title":"AudioQuest Type 4 Speaker Cable No Frills - 8 Foot – Single - Pins to Bananas","description":"8 Foot Single Pins to Bananas","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45980580249773,"sku":"KT-AQT4NF-8SPNBN","price":97.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/collections\/top-gear-of-the-year.oembed?page=95","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
