DAC and headphone amplifier

Following the success of the EF400, HIFIMAN introduces the EF600, designed to deliver audiophile performance in a desktop format. Built around the Himalaya Pro conversion chip, the EF600 can be used as a preamplifier or as an amplifier. Its elegant industrial design makes it as good-looking as it is capable, fitting naturally into any space.

Vertical format and headphone stand

Designed for desktop use, the EF600 has a compact vertical format that saves desk space. Its sturdy structure also lets you rest a headphone on it safely.

Himalaya Pro R2R DAC

The EF600 uses the Himalaya Pro chip developed by HIFIMAN, based on a discrete R2R architecture. This type of conversion delivers natural, smooth and highly detailed sound.

Amplification
