For Audiophiles at Home

I’ve always loved the ritual of coming home, settling into my favourite chair, and firing up a dedicated setup. Gear labelled For Audiophiles at Home is made for those moments — when you can really sit back and appreciate music in its purest form 🛋️. These products tend to be more powerful, larger, and often require wall power — perfect for a stationary rig.


Here’s the trade-off: these setups often involve external DACs, amps, or full-size headphones, which means more space, more power, but also more immersive listening. They shine when used in quiet environments, where detail, depth, and dynamics can truly be appreciated.


When you see '🏠 For Audiophiles at Home' products, expect: exceptional fidelity, stronger output, and the kind of soundstage that makes you never want to leave your listening chair.

The metal construction provides exceptional strength and longevity while contributing to a premium feel that serious audio enthusiasts appreciate. Whether you're a professional who needs reliable daily-use equipment or someone who values long-term investment in audio gear 🏗️.


When you encounter "🪖 Built like a Tank" products, expect unmatched robustness and durability you can count on for years of intensive use.


Why it Sounds Amazing

Balanced Output

I often say balanced output is like using both hands to carry something heavy — it distributes power evenly and keeps things stable. In audio gear, balanced output helps reduce unwanted noise and interference, especially over longer cables. Think of it as a cleaner, more efficient way to transmit your music, ideal for anyone using high-end DACs, amps, or studio-grade headphones 🎧. You’ll typically find it on gear with XLR or 4.4mm connectors, and it's a must-have if you’re chasing that ultra-clean signal path.


Here’s what’s actually happening: a balanced output uses two separate signals, one inverted, so when interference is picked up along the cable, it gets cancelled out when the signals are recombined. The result? Cleaner audio, better dynamic range, and more power output — especially when paired with balanced headphones. The trade-off? You’ll need gear that supports balanced connections on both ends to really enjoy the benefits.


When you see '⚖️ Balanced Output' products, expect: ultra-low noise, more headroom, and better synergy with high-impedance headphones or sensitive IEMs — ideal for serious listening setups.

Cayin Introduces the HA-3A - A Transformer Coupled, Balanced Driven Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier

Cayin presents a new entry to the power amplifier line-up of Cayin, the HA-3A. The Cayin HA-3A might look compact and simple in its approach. Cayin has devoted its renowned engineering, decades of audio equipment manufacturing and carefully selected performance-based components to make this happen. The team of engineers at Cayin paid attention to the powering on the HA-3A, which takes 60 seconds to power on, with a delay circuit which enhances circuit protection and minimises pop noise during start-up. You will experience tube sound being more 'liquid' or 'natural' through the midrange with the Cayin HA-3A. The HA-3A vacuum tube headphone amplifier allows you to have a focused, enlightening, and luxurious retreat while listening to your preferred music through the headphones or earphones of your choice.

Features Balanced Output Design For Clean Power & Zero Interference

Cayin HA-3A features an RCA 22DE4 rectifier tube that provides clean power with minimal interference. It uses 6V6S output tubes driving proprietary transformers for both single-ended and balanced outputs. An additional phase by the secondary winding of the output transformer; creates a balanced output amplification. The amplifier is optimised for three impedance ranges: Low (8-64 Ohms), Medium (65-250 Ohms), and High (251-600 Ohms), ensuring compatibility with various headphones.

Embeds Hand-Matched Dual Driver Tubes & Output Tubes For Hi-Fi Performance

Cayin HA-3A features dual 12AU7/ECC82 Driver Tubes (Matched Pair) manufactured by JJ, alongside dual 6V6S Output Tubes. The 12AU7 tube offers lower gain compared to similar tubes, resulting in increased headroom and reduced distortion, making it ideal for headphone amplification. These tubes work together to deliver warm, detailed sound with excellent depth.

Fused With Linear Power Amplification & Tube Rolling Support

Cayin HA-3A features a 2-stage single-ended vacuum tube circuit with hand-matched 12AU7/ECC82 driver tubes and 6V6S output tubes. The circuit powers both single-ended and balanced headphone outputs through proprietary output transformers. The balanced output is achieved through the output transformer's secondary winding, which creates an alternate phase. The single-ended design uses matched pairs for flexible tube rolling options.

Exquisite Build Quality With Premium Components For Exceptional Performance

Cayin HA-3A features hand-wired circuitry by skilled craftsmen, with special attention to internal wiring. It incorporates high-efficiency power transformers with reinforced shielding to minimize interference and noise. For precise volume control, it uses a high-performance ALPS 50KA*2 dual unit smooth potentiometer offers durable, high-precision volume control.

Utilises Advance Design With Multiple I/O Options For Easy Pairing

Cayin HA-3A features a premium build with a 14-round manufacturing process, resulting in a high-gloss finish and durable construction. For connectivity, it offers multiple headphone outputs including 6.35mm Single-ended, 4.4mm Balanced, and 4-Pin XLR Balanced. Input options include balanced XLR and single-ended RCA. The amplifier includes practical features like shock-absorbing aluminum foot pads, a protective tube shielding cage, and a thoughtfully designed front panel with a power switch, output selector, impedance selector, VU meters, input selector and volume control.
