Amp For Planar Headphones

You'll need an amp that can power Planar magnetic Driver headphones with plenty of power. Planar headphones require higher power and voltage than dynamic headphones, which only need just a small amount of current.

Look for planar Magnetic Driver an amplifier that has a recommended range of headphone impedance. Most will have this listed on their spec sheet or on their website.

AP10H+

The NVA AP10H+ headphone amplifier was designed and made by hand in Great Britain. It is an extremely powerful amplifier that can be used to drive virtually any headphone planar (and some dynamic headphones) on the market regardless of their impedance and sensitivity. Its high voltage output and current can also give you an outstanding dynamic headroom that produces an impressive sound.

Planar magnetic headphones like speakers are almost entirely resistive loads. They are, therefore, relatively easy to drive. However, they require higher levels of drive than most receivers can achieve. In order to achieve their 130dB SPL rating they require either 4V5 or 10V5 input at 1mW. This is why solid state amplifiers of class A are a good choice for them.

The AP10H+ has an output transformer that boosts the power to a greater degree, and comes with a volume-matching resistor that can be used with 95percent of headphones. This allows the AP10H+ to deliver more than twice the amount of power to 32 ohms dynamic headphones.

Nirvana IV

The Nirvana IV tube amp has an enveloping sound. This powerful amplifier can power planar magnetic headphones easily and has a variety of output modes that support most headphones with different impedances. It also comes with a high-end external power supply unit that supplies constant current to the amplifier. The amplifier was made in Serbia by Milomir Trosic, and it makes use of hand-crafted transformators that give exceptional musicality.

The Nirvana IV is a single-ended amplifier that can deliver 6.5W pure class A power. It can drive a high-impedance headphone and is capable to handle the HiFiMan Susvara open-back planar magnet headphone effortlessly. Its bass quality is superb and has excellent dynamic depth. The Nirvana IV has a rich mid-range, smooth highs and an impressive amount detail.

The amp is comparable to the Auris Ha-2SE and the Headonia amplifier but it's more effective overall because it has more clarity and precision as well as more balanced sound. When paired with the right headphone, it can reveal hidden layers of music and is a joy to listen to. Its balanced mode is especially impressive, adding a layer of texture and warmth that is difficult for other headphone amplifiers to match.

Many enthusiasts of headphones appreciate the warm sound of vacuum tube amplifiers. However, they can be difficult to make use of and require a significant investment. They also generate plenty of heat, so it is essential to pick one with a sturdy cooling system. The Nirvana IV can be customized to meet the needs of audiophiles.

The Cayin Ha-6A is a great option for those looking to enjoy the power and elegance of a tube amp at a low price. The amplifier is designed to work with a variety of headphone types and is compatible with all popular digital audio formats. Its output switch allows users to choose between three gain settings, which are suitable for medium, low and high-impedance headphones. It comes with a remote and an external power source.

Dragon Inspire IHA-1

The Dragon Inspire IHA-1 is a serious hi-fi pedigree - it was designed by (and is manufactured under the watchful eye of) Dennis Had, founder of Cary Audio. And despite its bizarre red paint it has a classic appearance that's reminiscent of classic tube equipment.

The IHA-1 makes use of a pair of 6SN7 dual triodes to drive headphones. It has transformer coupling at both outputs and Planar Magnetic driver inputs which makes it compatible with almost any headphone. It is also compact and has a clear signal path without a feedback loop.

The IHA-1 is a rich, harmonic sound that we have discovered to be appealing to those who appreciate a full listening experience. It's a great option for classical, indie/alternative and acoustic music. It's also a great amplifier for pop, country rock, R&B tracks. However, it can be a little warm side for high-energy genres like EDM and Metal. Tube rolling can help to offset the warmth.

The IHA-1 isn't an exception to this rule. In general, headphones with greater sensitiveness tend to be compatible with tube amplifiers. We tried it on a wide range of headphone models which included the Focal Clear, HiFiMan HE-560, Grado RS-1, and Mr. Speakers Alpha Prime. The IHA-1 provided a full and round sound, with a perspective that was astonishingly precise. It also gave an illusion of three-dimensional space.

The standard IHA-1 includes a pair of 6SN7 Russian tubes. It is possible to upgrade it by $100 to a NOS RCA GZ34. The GZ34 has a warmer tone than the 5Y3GT that was reissued, but has a more natural and bassy sound. It also has a lovely tone that what is a planar headphone recessed enough to make most listening experiences amazing and a breeze to wear.

The IHA-1's 3-D soundstage is particularly evident when paired with the Focal headphones Utopia. The Focal's already precise soundstage could expand forwards and outwards and reveal a vast soundscape. Listening to "Nublado" from Sera Una Noche (MA Recordings 16/44.1) was like a walk through a large hall with headphones.

Cayin HA-6A

This budget-friendly tube headphone amplifier from Cayin is a portable amplifier with a surprising amount of power. It's capable of driving headphones that are planar like the HiFiMan SUSVARA easily and also sounds great when used with dynamic headphones such as the Audio-Technica ATH A1000X. It's also highly adaptable, making it a good option for those who have different preferences in their music.

The HA-6A is a transformer-coupled device with matched outputs transformers to give a balanced output. The power supply has been fully controlled to minimize the ripple effect caused by voltage amplifying. The circuitry is hand-crafted with point-to-point wielding and high-quality wires, resulting in superior signal integrity and transparency. This amp comes with a premium UV meter that can display the levels of signal.

HA-6A features the option of switching between triode and ultralinear modes to give you a different sound experience based on your needs. If you want a rich warm, warm, and melodious sound, run the EL34 tubes in triode mode, with medium output impedance. On the other hand, if want an exceptionally clear and precise sound with plenty of muscle you should use a pair KT88 tubes in ultra-linear mode, with a low output impedance.

If you prefer a more neutral sound, the HA-6A features an option of tube rectification that improves the overall sound quality of the amplifier. This feature is perfect for users who enjoy a wide range of music genres, from classical and orchestral to hip-hop EDM and other electronic music.

The amp also has a custom-designed transformer with premium nickel plating. This ensures the amplifier is durable and robust. It also features an innovative current adjustment feature that can match the impedances of various headphones.

The Cayin Ha-6A is different from the Schiit Vali 2+ has a tiny bit of tube bloom. Its sound stage is also not as big or detailed. It has a quicker decay time, and a more neutral sound than the Vali 2. It has an asymmetrical midrange, with better detail and more bass than the Vali 2+, but it doesn't have the same amount of treble extension.
