Description

Il Cocktail Audio HA500H It is an “all-in-one” solution for audiophile-grade headphone listening: hybrid tube/solid-state headphone amplifier, Hi-Res DAC e line preamplifier in a single chassis. You can choose the sound signature at any time: the warm and enveloping musicality of the valve stage with 2 ECC82 valves (deactivatable) or the fastest and most crystalline response of the OpAmp solid state, adapting to genre, recording and personal taste.
The headphone section is designed to drive practically everything: from simple in-ear to the most demanding headphones, thanks to the balanced output with higher voltage/power and dedicated adjustments to obtain the ideal matching. The digital heart uses a dual ESS Sabre ES9018K2M DAC in configuration Dual Suit, with full support for PCM 32bit/384kHz, DSD up to native DSD256 e Native MQA: perfect as 32bit/384kHz asynchronous USB DAC for PC/Mac or as a reference converter in a system.
A circuit completes the whole thing fully balanced, a separate analog/digital power supply (toroidal + SMPS) to reduce noise and crosstalk, and a large 5" TFT display with views operative and VU-meter for immediate control.
