Just came across this on the PS Audio site - a PCA-2 Preamp, with what they claim is:
"High Current Headphone power amplifier built-in
In our survey of preamplifier features, the first most asked for feature was a phono stage. The second was a really high quality headphone jack.
"You asked and we listened. The PCA-2 comes as standard with a built in class AB power amplifier capable of driving just about any headphone to absolute nirvana.
"This is not the standard off-the-shelf chip power amp used by many manufacturers for their headphone amps, but a discrete output stage with its own power supply and amplifier. Based around a truly unique high voltage Burr Brown op-amp and discrete complimentary output transistors, this is a killer little power amplifier built into the PCA-2."
*****
Is this shipping yet, and has anybody heard it -- both as a preamp and as a headphone amp?
Thanks in advance,
Matt C
