We will have the balanced AMP3 2.5 TRRS amp coming out very soon, within 2 weeks. It is the high voltage high current version.

Hey Paul. Will AMP3 have a balanced line out output?

 

[Paul - iBasso]

Hey Paul. Will AMP3 have a balanced line out output?

Yes the line out is balanced.

 

[jerick70]

Yes the line out is balanced.

Chritsmas in July... Well almost July.

I'll be getting one of these for sure. Is pricing available yet?

 

[alota]

Yes the line out is balanced.

but it´s only balanced or has the S.E. output?

It is a balanced amp not balanced and SE. I got to listen to it at CanJam in London and it is very good.

You mean it has balanced only HO? not both SE and BAL like in amp1?

 

[koluludome]

So, perhaps, it will sound like an amp module with a sound sig similar to AMP2 and a proper balanced circuit architecture of AMP1 where bal output has a double voltage swing, right?

Great !!

The AMP3 is a maximized balanced only amp. The AMP2 is a single ended amp only.

The AMP3 is a maximized balanced only amp. The AMP2 is a single ended amp only.

Well, it makes sense. At least for me.
AMP1 = default = mix of SE & Bal
AMP2 = optimized for SE = SE only
AMP3 = optimized for Bal = Balanced only

 

[alota]

And about amp4?

 

[philk34]

And about amp4?

My guess: headphone only. Oriented toward difficult to drive headphones, not suitable fir IEMs, though.
Just my guess. For fun.

probably. if is the case, i remain with my module or amp2. i have the elear and maxell dba-700(iem), even though this last supports high power

Hello, what power does the Amp3 have? And when will the amp4 come out and what power will it have? Thank you
Is there an adapter to connect a 3.5 stereo jack to the balanced output of 2.5? Thank you

 

[philk34]

Is there an adapter to connect a 3.5 stereo jack to the balanced output of 2.5? Thank you

No, you cannot connect a single ended headphone to a balanced output. You would shorten output and may burn amp section.

On opposite, you can adapt balanced headphone to single ended output with an adapter. That is the normal way to obtain single ended by the way. You have 2 speakers and you connect their grounds together. It can be done in headphone itself. In the splitter or plug in IEM cables. Or in balanced to single adapter.

If I bought amp3 and wanna use external portable amp which is 3.5 single end input, Do I need special cable to connect or is it impossible to do it anyway?
