Though I wouldn't personally give iFi my money, the Zen Air Can will work just fine plugged into the SU-1.

Edit: here are some alternative headphone Amps in the same price range
-JDS Atom Amp+
-Topping L30 II
-Schiit Magni+ / Schiit Heretic
-Sabaj A10h / Sabaj A20h
-SMSL SH-6 / SMSL SH-8s

It is a privilege in having received your reply. i was lured by the xbass and xspace option and its reddit reviews according the fact that they work percetibly on the ifi zen air can. "Though I wouldn't personally give iFi my money"......i agree comprehensively. (brand hype ride).
In my Country , Topping L30 II and SMSL SH-6 are available only . costs significantly more to the zen air though here.
i forgot to mention my use case scenario is limited to IEMs only.
thank you for reaching out to me.
