Ampersand
Ampersand ("Ampers+And") is a portable, balanced, all-analogue headphone amplifier, custom-tuned to drive your headphones to their fullest potential. Ampersand sets a new standard in high power, at lowest distortion. Watch your entire headphone collection come alive - the Balanced, Portable Reference Headphone Amplifier will deliver. Enjoy consistent audio quality whether you use Balanced Armature, Dynamic or Planar Magnetic headphones. Here are the main features:
- Balanced and single-ended inputs featuring standard 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm balanced input jacks, making it easy to connect any DAC or DAP as analog input source.
- Balanced and single-ended outputs, featuring standard 3.5 mm and fully balanced, 4.4 mm and XLR jacks, for connecting a variety of headphone models.
- Up to 3W of clean power per channel, to enjoy consistent audio quality with Planar Magnetic headphones. Also supports Balanced Armature and Dynamic headphones.
- Control the volume with the on-board volume knob, which feels great thanks to the internal hydraulic pressure absorbing system, for a smooth, satisfying adjustment.
- Use the 3-position gain switch for compatibility with the widest range of headphone sensitivities. Flip the Fix/Var switch and control the volume from your DAP or DAC.
- Calibrated LED VU meters with a string of white LEDs, topped with red "overload" LEDs, let you can monitor input levels. Brightness is adjustable from "off" to daylight-visible.
- Rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery, which delivers over 8 hours of playback on a single charge, and a USB-C port for power and charging.
- This fully analogue product will likely outlive many DACs and DAPs. Analogue technology is built-to-last, and doesn't date like digital tech, so rest assured — your investment is protected.
- Ampersand stacks well with the CEntrance HiFi-M8 and delivers superior power for your favorite headphones.
