Cayin HA-1A Integrated Headphone Amplifier
Sam Tellig says it best: "The HA-1A may be the best thing that’s
ever happened to headphones… champagne sound for beer-budget bucks."
More below…
"…If you’ve been driving a pair of quality headphones from the
headphone jack of a preamp or integrated amp – or even if you already
own a standalone headphone amp – the HA-1A may come as a revelation. How
good can your present headphones sound? Probably very good indeed. So
good that you might stop listening to your loudspeakers… The HA-1A
breathes life and light into music in a way that transistors – and many
tube amps – simply cannot. It makes musicians sound here, not there…
The HA-1A has a way of making headphones sound less like cans (British
slang for headphones) that is downright uncanny. And the HA-1A did bass –
rich, full, tuneful, tight bass. I’ve always thought my Sennheiser HD
600s sounded a little thin and bass-shy. Such is not the case. The HA-1A
may be the best thing that’s ever happened to headphones… champagne
sound for beer-budget bucks." – Sam Tellig, Stereophile
"Pardon me, but that grasp you might have heard was me catching my
breath and gathering my wits after unpacking the Cayin HA-1A headphone
amplifier. Actually, make that ‘vacuum tube integrated headphone
amplifier.’ A jewel box of a beauty, the Cayin is for the dedicated
headphone aficionado – the pleasure-seeking hobbyist who prizes Mount
Blanc pens, Panerai wristwatches, or cases of Antinori Solaia 1997." –
