HiFiMAN Goldenwave PRELUDE | Desktop Class A Headphone Amp

Subtle Beast

I wanted something fully class A, before getting this I auditioned the Dx-9 Topping all in one and while good it still suffers from the inability to maintain notes after the initial hit, the mids also came up to much. The Prelude on the other hand can maintain notes appropriately with ease especially when paired with a dac that has good bass slam and 5v to the xlr outputs. This amp will be with me for quite sometime as I use it for movies-game’s-and music, it does all that i ask adequately. This will be paired with Mh tungsten in the future as my reference point. If you have the means don’t hesitate to try this product.
