General Information
Walk into the lounge of many keen Audio Enthusiasts and you'll see a Valve Amplifier at the heart of their system. Why? Quite simply because the old fashioned Valve Amplifiers gave a warm rich and vibrant sound. So what if there was a pocket size valve amp that could give us back this rich tube sound?
The Hybrid Valve Headphone Amplifier now gives us back the warm rich sound that many crave. Plug it in between your phone or Mp3 player and your headphones. Your music now passes through real glass tube valves. It will also boost the volume so you'll now have enough power to drive your headphones.
Choose the DAC option and you music can now play up to 32bit/ 384kHz resolution.
QUALITY COMPONENTS
when designing the Valve Amplifier, our first priority was to get the best sound possible. Right down to the individual resistors we've chosen components to give the lowest noise and to be virtually distortion free. We've even hand measured each valve before assembly and matched these to be within 1%
- laser cut front and back anodised case
- case made from a solid block of aluminium
- stainless steel fasteners
- Raytheon 6418 Valves made to Military Specifications
- metal Film Resistors
- 2 ounce Copper tracks
- Burr Brown series OPA2134 amplifier, mimimal distortion (0.00008%)
- low ESR Capacitors
- surface mount components
DAC COMPONENTS
Saviaudio's SA9227 and Texas Instruments PCM5102A are at the heart of our extremely hi resolution DAC valve amplifier (option). Combined with the military spec Raytheon valves and award winning Burr Brown series OPA2134 amplifier chip, this combination produces extremely hi quality audio with extremely low noise and distortion.
