Cayin
iHA-6 Headphone Amplifier
$649.00 USDA Fully Balanced Headphone Amplifier
The Cayin iHA-6 is a solid state, fully balanced desktop headphone amplifier. The iHA-6 pairs beautifully with the Cayin iDAC-6 hybrid solid state/tube high-resolution DAC. Add the iDAP-6 digital audio player/streamer/server and you've got a complete system for enjoying the headphones or IEMs of your liking. The units are designed to be stacked, with the the amp on the bottom, the DAC in the middle, and the DAP on top. You may also pair the iHA-6 with other components of your choosing.
Enjoy the neutrality, power, articulation, and detail of the iHA-6. Far from being a dry or sterile sound, the iHA-6 exudes musicality and smoothness while exhibiting a high level of resolution for the discerning audiophile
Sleek, Eye-Catching Design
The sleek, eye-catching design includes an aluminum alloy panel with sandblast finishing to reduce external interference. The large silver control knob with a black middle reflects Cayin's quality and tradition.
The iHA-6 has balanced and single-ended analog inputs, plus two sets of balanced and two sets of single-ended headphone outputs. There are two single-ended 6.35mm headphone jacks, one optimized for low-impedance headphones and the other for higher-impedance headphones. There is also a left/right pair of balanced 3-pin XLR headphone jacks, plus a balanced stereo 4-pin XLR headphone jack.
iHA-6 Headphone Amp Technology
The iHA-6 has a quadruple amplifier circuit with full discrete components and fully-balanced circuit design. It features reduced power interference, independent power supply to left and right channel, plus extensive protection to the amplifier and headphone through comprehensive protection circuit. A Toshiba audio-grade FET in differential input circuit ensures common-mode noise and high-quality audio performance. The iHA-6 is a push-pull amplification design with a low-resistance MOSFET at its power amplification stage.
