The Zen Dac V2 is a Dac with a weaker amp. The Zen Can is a Class A amp and just helps improve the bass a bit. Not a noticeable difference though.

Glad you're liking your Zen stack. I got it a while ago as I wanted an upgrade to my K5 Pro. I was very disappointed with the sound of the stack. I found the sound to be very harsh and the bass too weak and soft. This was through the single ended output. I've never tried the balanced output so it might be much better through that. Are you using yours balanced out of curiosity?

I've had the same experience and honestly balanced didn't improve things.

Balanced won't make a difference in the sound.
