I've tried searching this up on google and head fi, but could not find any answers. So I'll ask here. What are headphone amp classes ? I see them mentioned in descriptions for amps but I have no idea what it actually means.

the classes in simple terms is how the amp topology handles the wave form of the acoustic signal. it has nothing to do with the type of amp.
