Klipsch Heritage Headphone Amplifier - Soundstage Refined

Product # 1064316

The Klipsch Heritage Headphone Amplifier is a dual class-AB amplifier powered by a high-resolution ES90128K2M ESS Sabre32 Reference digital-to-analog (DAC) converter. It is capable of 192kHz/24-bit sample rates, thus marking itself as an ideal 2-channel audiophile-grade DAC that maintains the lowest distortion and produces clear high-quality audio or sound. The dual amplifier minimizes crosstalk, increase total system output and ensures the best signal-to-noise ratio possible. Giving users the ability to switch the gain between low impedance (Lo-Z: 0 dB) to high-impedance (Hi-Z: +10dB) makes the amplifier drive even the most demanding headphones or audio systems, also making it a point to enhance their quality.

Heritage Headphone Amplifier one of the best audio transferring solutions for USB sources i.e. the XMOS asynchronous audio USB interface. This audio receiver platform keeps the audio stream as clean as possible by allowing the amplifier to lock the audio stream to its internal clock. The amplifier also provides versatile inputs and outputs keeping in mind both headphones and powered speakers. A simple toggle switch toggles the output from headphones to "Line" for enabling speakers.
