This £69 listing for the iFi Audio xCAN is a strong bargain, sitting well below the typical used market where the unit usually trades between £180 and £220. With the original retail price firmly at £299, finding a working model for roughly 23% of that cost represents genuine value, especially given the current used market for portable hi-fi which favors buyers seeking high performance at low entry points.
The xCAN is well-regarded for its dual-mono architecture and exceptional 1000mW per channel output, making it one of the most powerful portable amps available for driving demanding headphones. It delivers significant upside by doubling as a Bluetooth DAC/amp with aptX support and includes the useful XBass II system with three presets. At this price, the only caveat is verifying battery health, as the 3.8V cell is rated for 12–18 hours depending on mode, but a clean unit at £69 is a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts.

iFi Audio is a British hi-fi technology company founded in 2012 by Abbingdon Music Research (AMR), a prestigious manufacturer of high-end electronics based in Southport, England. The venture was conceived as a way to democratize advanced AMR engineering by applying proprietary technologies developed for premium home audio to portable, more affordable devices. This strategic pivot proved remarkably successful, establishing iFi as a bridge between audiophile-grade sound quality and accessible pricing.
The brand specializes in portable and desktop audio components, with a product portfolio exceeding 50 devices spanning DACs, headphone amplifiers, Bluetooth streamers, music players, power conditioners, and cables. Flagship products include the iDSD Micro, Hip DAC, xDSD, and xCAN amplifier, all engineered to deliver high-resolution audio support and studio-quality fidelity in compact form factors. iFi has also gained recognition for innovation in wireless audio, notably with their GO Pods earphones featuring xMEMS technology and their Bluetooth-enabled DAC/amp solutions.
iFi occupies a distinctive mid-to-premium market position, offering audiophile-caliber performance at entry-level to mid-tier pricing. The company sources components globally from Germany, Japan, and the USA, and employs proprietary technologies such as PureWave balanced circuitry to minimize noise and distortion. Rather than competing in the ultra-luxury segment, iFi targets discerning listeners who demand measurable sonic improvement without premium price tags, making it a trusted choice for both portable and desktop audio enthusiasts.
