If you're looking for an austere audiophile headphone amp that sacrifices nothing in the way of sound, power, headroom, and look, and feel, the SPL Phonitor se is a suitable option. The Phonitor se, presented here in red finish, gives you the main features SPL pro-fi headphone amps are known for, such as naturalistic crossfeed and oodles of clean output power thanks to 120V VOLTAiR technology.
The 120V rails SPL uses come straight from their mastering gear used in top notch studios across the world, and is a main factor behind the Phonitor se's ability to drive up to 5W of output power per channel into headphones, doing so cleanly, meaning without distortion. The Phonitor se's Crossfeed switch allows you to recreate the effect of speakers in your headphones at will, eliminating the often-stringent, extreme separation of conventional headphone listening.
