Musical Fidelity has extensive experience in making superb headphone amplifiers. The Musical Fidelity LX2-HPA builds on our decades of experience to deliver a great performer with a beautiful, understated, and tasteful aesthetic.
A headphone amplifier is like a small power amplifier, considering the load (the headphones), the technical requirements are similar: excellent load tolerance, high stability margins, low distortion, wide bandwidth, low noise, excellent channel separation.
The Musical Fidelity LX2-HPA easily drives any commercially produced headphones. The high current delivery and excellent stability margins result in completely color-neutral performance. Distortion of less than 0.0035%, wideband is vanishingly low and certainly inaudible. The bandwidth extends to about 80 kHz, and even at 40 kHz, the distortion remains well below 0.05%. An outstanding achievement.
The excellent signal-to-noise ratio of better than 112dB means that the music comes from a truly ‘black velvet’ background field. The stereo separation is excellent and provides a rock-solid imaging experience. Talk about adventures in inner space!
The LX2-HPA provides a sensual listening experience at monitor level. Completely uncolored sound with an almost unlimited dynamic range from a black velvet background and perfectly placed spatial images.
