Give your headphones the power & clarity they deserve.

Your headphone amplifier is as important to your music’s final sound quality as your headphones – yet the world is full of headphone amps with compromised sonics, headroom, and power. To address these shortcomings, Rupert and his team at Rupert Neve Designs developed the Precision Headphone Amplifier.

Based on the headphone output circuit in Rupert Neve Designs’ acclaimed 5060 Centerpiece Desktop Mixer, the Precision Headphone Amplifier is a dedicated 24V reference-quality headphone amplifier with specifically-calibrated inputs, housed in a beautiful aluminum & mahogany chassis.

With effortless, wide-open sonic performance and the ability to drive any pair of headphones without compromise, the Precision Headphone Amplifier allows you to enjoy your music with a new level of clarity.
