Aurorasound HEADA Headphone Amplifier
The HEADA Headphone Amplifier is Aurorasounds’ latest development and is, exactly like Karaki-san’s phono stage VIDA, and preamp PREDA a technical masterpiece. The first units arrived. The sound is fantastic so far, and gets better every day...
Audiophile headphone aficionados agree that balanced-drive is the ultimate nirvana of headphone listening, the cat’s meow of cans, the "creme de la creme" of personal audio systems, the highest of the high-end.
Balanced drive delivers a significant increase in audio performance due to the doubling of slew rate and voltage swing power, a massive reduction of THD distortion components, and the virtual absence of crosstalk at the headphones due to the elimination of the common ground plane. The acoustic result lends an extremely expansive, open-toned quality to your headphones, as well as very transparent and refined musical detail, tightly textural low bass, and perfectly pronounced mid-ranges. Many music lovers say its the closest headphones can come to sounding like a room speaker listening experience.
Key features:
Well-controlled capability for high-end headphone diaphragms due to balanced drive amplifier system
Left/Right independent four -wire cable brings excellent stereo image and presence
SNR, THD+N, Dynamic range, Slew rate, power - all specifications are superior to single-ended drive
Uses Aurorasound’s special design - discrete transistors and FTEs amplifier module, 4 units
Uses large-size conductive plastic volume control for smooth operation with very low gang error
High power torodial transformer and high-speed regulation power supply inside the case
4-pin XLR and 2x 3-pin XLR plus standard phone jack for any kind of headphone connectors
Low/High gain-select switch allows for multiple headphone impedance and sensitivity values
Two –channel input selector, CH-1 support, XLR and RCA connectors, CH-2 support (RCA only)
No signal loss when Input signal passes to other components, due to output supports
Vintage design, real wood case, solid aluminum knob, solid metal foot -insulators
