View Full Description

The HA500H is a premium Hybrid Headphone Amplifier, DAC, Pre-Amplifier and Asynchronous USB DAC for audiophiles. It is equipped with two(2) ECC82 vacuum tubes and solid state OP Amp, which will work as preamp stage for the headphone section, and will work as out stage for the pre-out section, while solid state transistors are built in at power amp stage for headphone section. So, you can select one out of Tube and OP Amp according to character of music, your feelings and mood.

All music has its own character. Some music need to be reproduced clearly and dynamically, others will be better when they are played warmly and smoothly. The HA500H will be the best device that will let you choose different sonic signature in reproducing music according to your feelings and music character.

The HA500H offers impedance selector(High/Low) with which you can choose one of High or Low impedance, which suits better your headphones.

Equipped with two(2) Sabre³² ES9018K2M DAC(one DAC per channel), additional multicore microcontroller for high performance USB Audio DAC, completely isolated circuit design for analogue and digtial section with customised SMPS and Toroidal Transformer and high quality aluminium enclosure crafted precisely by CNC machine with beautiful glass-sanding finish, the HA500H will be Reference Level Hybrid Headphone Amplifier, DAC, Pre-Amplifier and Asynchronous USB DAC for audiophiles
