Cayin iHA-6 Headphone Amplifier
Sleek Style Meets Sophisticated Sound
One of the occasional drawbacks that comes with the headroom and versatility of solid-state is a sound that some describe as “sterile”—but the Cayin iHA-6 Headphone Amplifier is a desktop unit that bucks that trend in beautiful fashion. That beauty is two-fold. First, you’ll find that the all-aluminum design is a gorgeous addition to your desktop—pulling visual cues from classic turntable amps or ‘60s-era outboard studio units. Second, you’ll find that the sound is equally beautiful, courtesy of a quadruple-amplifier circuit with impressive discrete components, including Toshiba audio-great FET hardware and a low-resistance MOSFET at the power-amp stage. The quality is even carried through to the controls, with a premium ALPS 4 channel rotary potentiometer to smoothly adjust your sound. It all amounts to plenty of headroom for your headphones, a fully-covered frequency response curve, clean, low harmonic distortion, and a few different connectivity options.
