This dual-tube headphone amp sports smooth digital volume control, high headroom, ultralow noise, and a sleek aluminum chassis designed to stack perfectly with CEntrance's DAC Mini as well as the Apple Mac Mini and Mac Studio for an ideal premium audio production tower that saves space in style.

A bright stereo LED meter, convenient gain switch for IEMs or overhead cans, and signal color switch round out the front-panel controls, while robust headphone I/O, including balanced 4-pin XLR, balanced 4.4mm, and unbalanced 1/4" outputs, complete the package.
