The EarMen ST-Amp is a fully balanced desktop headphone amplifier with the option for a preamplifier and integrated DAC. It offers exceptional sound quality, whether listened to through an integrated DAC or an external one, which is great news for anyone looking for an all-in-one device. The amplifier is carefully designed for headphones, so you won’t experience any unpleasant pop and click sounds when turning it on or off.”

“The amplifier is fully balanced, so every sound from the input is even cleaner and better, but that’s not all. We use the same topology for SE signals, making them balanced in a special way with almost no phase shift, additional noise, or THD, which is great news because the sound from the SE output is not inferior to that from the balanced output.

The headphone outputs are powered by two TPA6120 operational amplifiers, which excel in the world of audiophiles. To complete the experience, we use a high-quality balanced ALPS potentiometer that contributes to maintaining the unchanged sound and user satisfaction during use.”
