Amp For Planar Headphones

You want an amp that can power planar headphones with plenty of power. Contrary to dynamic headphones which require a small amount of current, planars are more energy-intensive and require more voltage.

Find an amplifier that comes with a recommended headphone impedance range. This can be found on the specifications sheet or on their website.

AP10H+

The NVA AP10H+ headphone amplifier is created and manufactured by hand in Great Britain. It is an amplifier with a lot of power that can be used to drive virtually any headphone planar (and some dynamic headphones) on the market regardless of their impedance or sensitivity. Its high current and voltage output will also provide a stunning dynamic headroom that produces an amazing sound.

In contrast to speakers, planar earphones magnet headphones are almost purely resistive loads, which makes them easy to drive. However, they require much higher levels of drive than most receivers can achieve. To reach their 130dB SPL rating they need either 10V5 or 4V5 input at 1mW. Class A solid state amplifiers are the best option for them.

The AP10H+ features an output transformer that increases the voltage and has a volume matching resistance that is suitable for headphones in 95% of cases. This allows the AP10H+ to provide more than twice the amount of power to the 32 ohms of dynamic headphones.

Nirvana IV

If you love a tube amp with a warm sound profile, then the Nirvana IV is the one for you. This powerful amplifier can power planar magnetic headphones easily and comes with a variety of output options that can accommodate the majority of headphones with different impedances. It also has a top-quality external power supply unit that supplies constant current to the amplifier. The amplifier was designed in Serbia by Milomir Trosic, and it makes use of hand-crafted transformators that give exceptional musicality.

The Nirvana IV has a single-ended design that can deliver 6.5W of pure class A power. It can drive high-impedance headphones and can handle the HiFiMan Susvara open-back planar magnet headphone easily. Its bass performance and dynamic range are superb. The Nirvana IV has a rich midrange, smooth highs, and a staggering amount of detail.

This amp is comparable to the Auris ha-2SE and Headonia amplifiers, but it's a better one in general, as it has more balanced and precise sound. It can reveal hidden layers in music when used with the right headphone. It is also very enjoyable to listen. Its balanced mode is impressive, bringing a layer of warmth and tube smoothness that is hard for other headphone amplifiers to match.

Vacuum tube amplifiers are popular among headphone enthusiasts because they have a warm and enveloping sound that people appreciate. However, they are difficult to use and require a significant investment. They also produce a lot heat, so make sure you choose one that has a robust cooling mechanism. The Nirvana IV is a good choice for those who are discerning about their audiophiles because it can be customized with a variety of different tubes.

The Cayin HA-6A is a good choice for anyone looking to experience the power of a tube amplifier at a low cost. This amp is designed to work with a variety of headphone types and is compatible with the majority of popular digital audio formats. The output switch lets you select between three gain modes suitable for headphones with medium, low or high impedance. It also includes a remote control and an external power supply.

Dragon Inspire IHA-1

The Dragon Inspire IHA-1 has serious audio heritage It was designed by (and is manufactured under the watchful eyes of) Dennis Had, founder of Cary Audio. It has a timeless appearance that is reminiscent of classic tube equipment, despite its bizarre red paint job.

The IHA-1 is compatible with any headphone because it uses dual triodes 6SN7 to drive headphones. It also has transformer coupling at both the inputs as well as outputs. It is also small and has an unobstructed signal path, without any feedback loop.

The IHA-1 has a rich and acoustic sound that we've found to be a hit with listeners who enjoy a lush listening experience. It's a great choice for classical, alternative/indie and Acoustic tracks. It's also a great choice for country, pop rock, R&B tracks. It may be a bit warm for genres with high energy, like EDM or Metal. Tube rolling can help you to offset the warmth.

As a rule higher-sensitivity headphones are likely to work well with tube amplifiers, and the IHA-1 is no different. We tested the IHA-1 using various headphone models including the Focal, HiFiMan HE-560 and Grado RS-1. Speakers Alpha Prime. The IHA-1 provided a full and smooth sound, with perspective that was astonishingly precise. It also created the illusion of three-dimensionality.

The standard IHA-1 comes with a pair of Russian 6SN7 tubes. It can be upgraded for an additional $100 to a new RCA GZ34. The GZ34 has a warmer sound than the reissue 5Y3GT but has a more natural and bassy sound. It also has a lovely response to treble that is sufficiently recessed for most listening experiences to be stunning and unflagging.

The IHA-1's 3-D soundstage becomes particularly evident when paired with the Focal headphones Utopia. The Focal's already precise soundstage was able to expand outwards and forwards, revealing an expansive soundscape. Listening to the track 'Nublado' from Sera Una Noche [MA Recordings, 16/44.1], for instance, was like walking around a vast hall that just happened have your headphones in it.

Cayin HA-6A

This tube headphone amplifier that is affordable from Cayin is a portable amp with an impressive power. It can drive planar headphones like the HiFiMan SUSVARA and also sound great when paired up with dynamic headphones like the Audio-Technica's ATH A1000X. It's also extremely adaptable and is a good option for those who have different listening preferences.

The HA-6A has a transformer-coupled construction with output transformers that are matched to provide a true balanced output. The power supply has also been fully regulated to reduce the ripple effect caused by voltage amplifying. The circuitry is made by hand with points-to-point amplification and high-quality wires, resulting in superior signal integrity and transparency. The amp also has an ultra-high-quality UV meter which displays the signal's levels.

The HA-6A has an ultralinear/triode mode switchable that allows you to customize the sound to meet your preferences. If you're looking for a full warm, warm, and melodious sound, use the EL34 tubes in triode mode, with medium output impedance. On the other hand, if want an exceptionally fast and headphone planar detailed sound with plenty of power you should use a pair KT88 tubes in ultra-linear mode and low output impedance.

For those who prefer a more neutral sound, HA-6A has an option of tube rectification that improves the overall sonic quality of the amplifier. This feature is ideal for users who listen to a variety of genres, from hip-hop and EDM to classical and orchestral music.

The amp is also constructed with a large, custom-made output transformer that features high-quality nickel plating. This ensures the amplifier is rugged and durable. It also features an innovative current adjustment that allows it to match the impedance of headphones.

In contrast to the Schiit Vali 2+, the Cayin HA-6A has a bit of a tube bloom as well as a soundstage that's not as big or as precise. It also has a faster decay time than Vali 2+ and a more neutral tone overall. It also has a forward-looking midrange that has more detail and more bass than the Vali 2+. However it doesn't have the same amount of treble.
