With -123 dB THD+N (0.00006%) and a 133 dB signal-to-noise ratio, it is one of the headphone amps recommended by Audio Science Review, whose measurements confirmed near-perfect performance and the ability to drive any headphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom planar headphones to sensitive IEMs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree gain levels, selectable on the rear panel, match the unit to each headphone.

The balanced version uses 6.35 mm TRS jacks wired like XLRs, with 4 V RMS maximum output and a 200 kΩ input impedance, for studio active monitors and long cable runs. The digital version keeps 2 analogue RCA inputs and delivers 4 channels over duplicated S\/PDIF and Toslink outputs, so you can stay in the digital domain right up to your converters or amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDigital inputs and USB interface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll versions share the same digital section: one S\/PDIF input on RCA, one Toslink optical input, one stereo USB audio input and Bluetooth reception supporting LDAC, aptX HD, aptX, AAC and SBC, with sample rates from 20 to 216 kHz. The multi-core XMOS USB audio processor runs bidirectional UAC2: ASIO driver supplied for Windows, plug and play on Mac and Linux. The 4 processed channels are also sent back to the computer over USB, which lets you digitise a vinyl record after processing, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAudio processing and Dirac Live\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Analog Devices SHARC ADSP21489 32-bit floating-point DSP running at 400 MHz delivers 32-bit \/ 96 kHz processing: parametric EQ, IIR and FIR filters, crossover filters for an active crossover, advanced biquad programming and independent delay on each output. Four presets can be stored. The optional upgrade to Dirac Live 3.x adds full-bandwidth room correction from 20 Hz to 20 kHz; note that in this mode the DSP engine runs at 48 kHz, whereas the SHD models keep 96 kHz with Dirac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDay-to-day use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front panel combines an OLED display (white or black), a volume encoder and an infrared receiver; the IR v2 remote is included.
