SPL Phonitor se Headphone Amplifier with DAC768xs (Silver)

Description

Phonitor se

Our entry model into the world of VOLTAiR headphone
amplifiers.

The Phonitor se has the same audio signal amplification
as its bigger brothers Phonitor x and Phonitor xe and therefore
offers the same sound experience. The DAC768xs is optionally available.

Volume & Source Selection

The volume is adjusted with a milled all-aluminum rotary
knob. The Alps RK27 “Big Blue” potentiometer provides a pleasant “spoon in
honey” turning feeling.

In addition to an analog source, three other digital sources
can be connected to the Phonitor se with the optional DAC.

Headphone Output with Power

The Phonitor se offers a 6.35 mm jack for connecting
headphones with jack plug.

Up to 2 x 5 watts of output power is available at this
socket. This allows even very power-hungry headphones such as magnetostats or
electrostats to be driven effortlessly.

The Revolution

in the headphone amplifier is the Phonitor Matrix,
with switchable crossfeed, that allows you to listen to music through
headphones with the sound experience of listening through speakers.

The tiring super stereo effect and the exaggerated
reproduction of reverberation and effects are a thing of the past.

Enjoy your music without fatigue and exactly as it should be
heard.

The Phonitor Matrix in its largest expansion stage has three
setting parameters: Crossfeed, Speaker Angle and Center Level.

In Phonitor se the Center Level is preset to -1 dB and the speaker placement
Angle to 30°. These are the most common values.

The Crossfeed function determines the crosstalk of the
channels, the so-called interaural level difference. There are two switch
positions C1 and C2 for the intensity of the Crossfeed.

Connections

The Phonitor se is equipped with gold-plated RCA sockets for
the analog input.

The optional DAC768xs adds three more digital sources: USB
Coax and Optical.

The Optional DAC768xs

The highly acclaimed AKM AK4490 Velvet Sound™ premium DAC
chip is used as the converter chip in the optional digital-to-analogue
converter, which thanks to its new architecture reproduces the finest sound
details.

It converts PCM audio with a resolution of 32 bits and a
sampling rate of up to 768kHz, which corresponds to 16 times the CD resolution.
Direct Stream Digital is also supported up to a resolution of DSD4 or DSD256.
