Headstage Arrow 5TX
Publié : 28 janv. 2016 17:34
Un nouveau sujet - qui complète le topic Feedback - pour ce DAC/Amp qui va très vite devenir mon "couteau-suisse" de l'audiophilie : DAC/Amp pour mon Mac, DAC/Amp pour mon smartphone et même Ampli en sortie de mon DAP quand j'en ai marre de mon autre Ampli. Il sait tout faire et bien !
The new Headstage Arrow 5TX offers supreme sound in an ultra slim case with high output power and long battery run time. It is equipped with an digital volume control and a portable USB DAC that works with your iPhone (iOS7) or Android mobile phones.
Digital Volume Control
A digital volume control with 65-steps and mute function has been implemented. Especially users of IEMs will like this new volume control as there is no imbalance between right/left channels on lower volumes as it appears on most analog potentiometers.
Portable/Stationary USB DAC
Many users prefer an all-in-one headphone amp that can be connected directly to an USB port. The Arrow 5G not only has an USB DAC that works with a PC, it can also be set to "Mobile" mode to work with an iPhone/iPad (via the "Camera Connection Kit") or Android phones. In this "Mobile" mode the USB DAC is powered by the internal battery, while in "PC" mode current is taken from the USB port. The USB DAC may also be turned off so that it won't install itself every time you intent to charge the battery by a PC.
Automatic Power Adaptation
The "Arrow" is the only headphone amp to use an automatic power adaptation. The battery voltage of 4V is boosted to a voltage just as high as needed to provide a distortion-free sound--with a maximum voltage of 12V. This patented technique provides high power output along with exceptional battery run-time. That way the amplifier is useful for a wide range of headphones, whether they are full size/high-ohm or low-impedance IEMs.
Automatic Power Switch
Another unique feature is the illuminated power switch that can be set to OFF, ON or AUTO. In AUTO mode the amp will automatically turn on when an audio signal is connected, and off after the music stopped playing--with a 3 minute delay.
Ultra Slim Design
The design with carefully selected parts provides an ultra slim amplifier with a height of only 8.5mm (0.33''). It is one of the most portable amplifier. Special production techniques have been invented to build an enclosure with exceptional quality.

Normal Bass Boost : position 0 = bass boost off / position I = +6dB / position II = +9dB
Enhanced Bass Boost : position 0 = bass boost off / position I = +9dB / position II = +18dB
Si fin, si petit, si léger : si racé !!
