The Headline is an amplifier designed to offer optimum performance from a variety of high impedance headphones.
Due to overwhelming demand, the Headline can now be ordered with a pair of RCA plugs in place of the 5 pin DIN. This is especially welcome to Nait 5i owners and owners of non-Naim preamps. Same price applies for both DIN and RCA types.
Fitted with a captive lead, the Headline takes its signal from the tape socket of any of our pre-amplifiers. It has its own volume control and is designed to be very, very quiet. It has the ability to drive most headphones to an adequate level (loud!) with low distortion.
Headphones tend to be rather revealing of both noise and distortion, so we have spent a great deal of effort getting these parameters to extremely low levels.
The Headline must be used with an external power supply such as an i-supply, NAPSC, Flat-Cap 2 or Hi-Cap, using a special interconnect, type SLIC.
