The Pathos Acoustics Aurium is a desktop headphone amplifier designed around a hybrid Class A topology, combining a tube preamplification stage with a MOSFET power stage and zero-feedback design. Pathos positions it as a compact, high-end headphone amp with strong musicality, transparency, dynamics, and low listening fatigue. It also includes adjustable output impedance to better match different headphones, plus balanced and unbalanced analog connectivity and tape outputs for system integration.
