Little Dot I+ Headphone Amp
Made for Modding
An impressive hybrid headphone amplifier for the price, the Little Dot I+ combines the smooth, musical sound of vacuum tubes with the high output current of transistors. It’s specifically designed to drive low-impedance headphones that require a high current to perform to their full potential. Plus, this compact amp is a modder’s dream. Depending on how the DIP switches are configured, three different families of vacuum tubes—EF95, EF92, and 408A—can be used to achieve your desired sound signature.
