HPA-1 Class A Headphone Amplifier
This class A headphone amplifier from 2014 is based on the design I used in my ‘Symphony’ preamp. It will drive a pair of 32 Ohm headphones to 6V pk-pk and remain in class A with < 330 parts per billion distortion at 20 kHz. At 16 V pk-pk output into 32 Ohms, the distortion is about 2 parts per million. Note that an average pair of 32 Ohm headphones will be producing > 115 dB SPL at 6V pk-pk.
I am working with a US based diyAudio member (as of August 2020) who is designing a set of PCB’s including PSU. Stay tuned for further updates.
Hi Nickson,
I’m working with a guy from diyAudio who is designing one. Will take a few more weeks.
Cheers
Andrew
Hi Andrew
How about PCB for this project?
