HIFIMAN PRELUDE
Desktop Class A fully balanced DAC and headphone amplifier
Prelude is the reference headphone amplifier of the Goldenwave brand, which already belongs to HiFiMan. It has a number of features that make it appealing to audiophiles and music lovers looking for true-to-life, full-fledged sound. The amplifier uses a fully balanced Class A MOSFET construction that provides high-current output with clear and powerful sound reproduction. The amplifier's circuit is completely discrete, which means it uses individual components instead of integrated circuits. This approach can result in better control of the audio signal and potentially better sound quality. The amplifier housing is made of a single piece of aluminum, which helps isolate harmful resonances that can degrade sound performance, ensuring clearer sound output. Prelude is a premium, precision-engineered headphone amplifier that focuses on sound quality and signal clarity.
