Ok.
 
So I am thinking about purchasingn a Decware CSP2+, but I have questions.
 
I am an engineer, but not of the electrical sort and am very confused.
 
Decware lists the CSP2+ on their website as being a Triode Headphone OTL (Output Transformerless) Amplifier.
 
My question is this, the amplifier has transformers in it, as stated by the build information on the bottom of its own page here:
 
http://www.decware.com/newsite/CSP2.html
 
So, how then is it classified as a 
[size=9pt]Circuit type[/size] [size=9pt] [/size] [size=9pt]Single ended Class A Triode OTL[/size]
 
???????
 
Confused.....Please help

Long story short:
 
OTL means the amp does not have an output transformer.
OTL doesn't mean the amp does not have any transformer.
