Beyerdynamic A1
Beyerdynamic A1 headphone amplifier with toroidal amplification and 96 kHz circuit, designed to deliver generous power suited to all headphones.
Description
The Beyerdynamic A1 is a headphone amplifier dedicated to hifi listening. It sits between an audio source and a set of headphones, providing the power required by demanding transducers whilst restoring the signal without colouration.
Its toroidal amplification contributes to signal stability and high dynamics, whilst the internal circuit, operating at 96 kHz, allows it to reproduce the full frequency range of high-resolution sources such as SACD or DVD Audio. On the connectivity side, the unit offers two RCA inputs as well as an RCA output allowing the signal to pass through even when the amplifier is switched off. The input selector relies on silent relay micro-processors, which prevent any crackling or sonic disturbance when switching source.
This headphone amplifier is aimed at hifi enthusiasts with current-hungry headphones, seeking faithful reproduction and connectivity capable of handling several sources simultaneously.
What to check before buying used
On this type of toroidal transformer amplifier, it is worth checking for any hum or background noise at idle, which would indicate a tired transformer or power supply. The input selector and its relays are worth testing on each position to ensure there is no crackling or cutting out. Checking the RCA sockets, both inputs and output, also helps confirm contact quality and the absence of play.
