New Head-Fier
I did not see a post, so I went ahead and created one.
The ZMF x JDS Labs Homage Amp is a collaborative effort between two of the most respected names in the audio industry. It combines ZMF's expertise in headphone design with JDS Labs' expertise in amplifier design to create a solid state amp that is truly exceptional.
The amp has a sleek and modern design, that marries the aesthetics of both companies with an anodized aluminum chassis, and a wood front and back panel. The amp includes a beautiful VU meter right in the center. This amp has a universal power supply which means this amp can be used in any country without issue. It has a variety of inputs and outputs, including balanced XLR and 4.4mm headphone outputs, and XLR and RCA inputs. The amp also has a gain switch (low, medium, and high), and an impedance selector (47ohm and 1ohm), which allows you to match the amp's output to your headphones making this amp very versatile.
The ZMF x JDS Labs Homage is powered by a Class A/B amplifier (2W per channel). The amp is very dynamic with excellent bass control, great detail and weight, with a presentation that is very resolving and effortless. No matter what headphones of mine I used on this amp it made them sound fantastic. IEMs also worked great on this amp and throughout listening the only time I ever heard any kind of noise was putting it on high gain and turning the volume knob with nothing playing to about 90%.
The secret sauce that sets the ZMF x JDS Labs Homage apart from other amps is its soundstage. The amp creates a wide and 3D/holographic soundstage that puts other amps to shame. When going back and forth with other amps, like the Cayin IHA-6, Schiit Mjolnir, and Ferrum Erco, you could really tell the difference. It definitely made other amps feel like they had a flat/2D sound compared to the 3D/holographic nature of the ZMF x JDS amp. That's why it has become my go to amp!
Overall, the ZMF x JDS Labs Homage is an outstanding solid state amp. It offers excellent sound quality, build quality, features, and it is a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality amp to drive their headphones or IEMs. Whether you are looking for that one amp that will work with everything or something to compliment your tube amps, definitely give the Homage a listen!
