PHA-2 Portable Hi-Res DAC/Headphone Amplifier Easily connect to your PC or compatible digital music device via USB input to enjoy Hi-Res audio playback with the PHA-2 portable DAC/headphone amplifier. The PHA-2 samples PCM sources at 192kHz/24-bit and DSD sources at 2.8/5.6MHz. The high fidelity DAC, op-amp and headphone amplifier circuits ensure you hear every detail of your music. Unlock hi-res audio on the go The PHA-2 portable headphone amplifier allows you to enjoy a high-resolution audio experience through your headphones. The PHA-2 can decode PCM audio sources at 192kHz/24-bit and DSD audio sources at 2.8 MHz / 5.6 MHz formats. Flexible connectivity The PHA-2 is compatible with a wide array of digital devices. It has 3 USB inputs: standard A for iPod®/ iPhone®/iPad®1 devices, mini-B for hi-res Walkman® and micro-B for PC or Mac®. The PHA-2 also offers an analog input for connecting to most MP3 players, smartphones and other audio devices as well as a line out for external amp or active speakers. Jitter-free audio The PHA-2 features an asynchronous USB 2.0 clock that supports highly accurate DA conversions. The precision clock signal generator reduces timing inaccuracies when converting digital signals into analog waveforms. This maintains sound stage integrity and audio response, resulting in superior audio performance with minimal noise and distortion. High-quality amplification circuits The PCM1795 DAC samples PCM audio at 192 kHz/24 bit DSD audio at 2.8/5.6 MHz. The LME49860 operational amp delivers outstanding signal performance with ultra-low distortion, low noise high slew rate. The high bandwidth TPA6120 headphone amp minimizes noise, delivering than 120 dB of dynamic range to ensure music is heard with every detail. Durable construction and materials The compact aluminum enclosure protects the delicate circuitry inside from outside interference and impacts while alloy bumpers protect the volume knob and headphone connectors from external impact. Recessed control switches reduce the chance of accidental access during playback. Flexible headphone support A two position, side mounted gain switch allows you to optimize the PHA-2's output level to match varying headphone impedances from 8 to 600 Ohm. Select between Low or High settings to maximize your listening experience.
