iFi is a name that has been making great shakes in the portable "head-fi" arena since 2012: see the UK audio specialist's uniquely styled hip-dac, splendid Zen DAC, Uno, Go Pods and Go Link dongle, for starters.
And so it is with the new gloriously named iCan Phantom. (Cue Moulin Rouge fans singing "'Cause iCan-Can-Can!" and Phantom of the Opera lovers uttering "Help me make the music of the night". Anyway.) This headphone amp continues in the firm's natural and somewhat-eccentric audiophile vein thanks to its striking design, its considerable power, its unrivalled versatility – it even has energizer tech for electrostatic headphones built in – and the intriguing data cards for setting bias voltage.
