This amplifier is the culmination of over a decade's experience in building electrostatic headphone amplifiers. It offers two volume control options: a 24-level step attenuator for precise channel matching and an ALPS RK50 potentiometer for infinitely granular control. The amplifier includes two Stax Pro-Bias (580V) electrostatic headphone outputs, an input selector switch, two single-ended RCA inputs, and one balanced XLR input. It also features loop outputs in both XLR and RCA formats.
