Most listeners have never heard headphones at their full potential. That's because the headphone jack on the front of most components outputs a severely compromised signal. This integral headphone amplifier is normally an afterthought considered unworthy of serious design effort or expense. After all, how many consumers make purchasing decisions based on the quality of the headphone amplifier?
Audiophiles wanting a better headphone listening experience can choose an aftermarket headphone amplifier. This device will accept a line-level signal and amplify it enough to drive your headphones.
High quality headphone amplifiers have a discrete output stage (made from separate transistors) rather than an operational amplifier chip, and are fed from power supplies designed with high-end techniques and circuits. They also incorporate audiophile quality volume controls.

Headphone Amplifier P-750u
New flagship model headphone amplifier featuring ODNF4.0, LECUA, 4-pin XLR & 3-pin XLR outputs
With a new stylish look, the P-750u, upgraded in every way, will be released this autumn.This unit features the latest version of LUXMAN’s original high sound quality amplification feedback circuit ODNF 4.0, eliminatingdistortion on all four channels.Unrestrictedexpression, extended range and energetic, yetnatural dynamic feeling are addedto the high tonal quality of the preceding model P-700u.For the unbalanced outputs, the output current capacity is doubled by pairing the four amplifier channel circuits into left and right and driving them in parallel. The balancedoutput has aBTL connection for high-end headphones and has many benefits such as greatly enhanced L/R separation performance. The P-750u has a 4-pin XLR balancedconnection, which is becoming standard for high-end headphones. The chassis feet are made of cast iron to block unnecessary external vibration. LUXMAN’s electrically controlled ultimate attenuator, LECUA, enables smooth adjustment of the volume control with minimal deterioration in sound quality. There is also a sensitivity switch, with which you can choose from 3 modes, depending on the headphone’s impedance and efficiency, L/R balance control and an on/off selector for through output. The P-750u is highly adaptable and you can further expand your direct listening environment.

SH Headphone Amp
Unison Research are expanding on their class-leading range of valve-based hi-fi electronics to produce their first ever dedicated headphone amplifier solution. The SH is a single-ended, two-stage full-valve headphone amplifier designed to accommodate traditional analogue and modern computer-based audio sources.
The SH began with the same basic remit as the coveted Simply Italy integrated amplifier; to produce a world-class sound from a specialised device using the best technology available. The result was a fairly simple, linear circuit that produces an output voltage which is more than capable of driving a wide range of headphones, while keeping distortion low throughout the frequency range. This allows the SH to deliver a consistent, coherent sound character when in use.

Linear D
Taking the award winning analog Design of the classic Lehmannaudio Linear headphone amp and combining it with a state of the art high resolution Sabre audio DAC by ESS of the newest generation is already off for a very good start. Additionally this DAC module with its complex and noise performance optimised four layer board utilises two digital inputs (Toslink + SPDIF) and features automatic input sensing with Toslink prioritisation. If no digital audio signal is detected the automatic input selector falls back to the analog input. For all this no input selector is needed.
