DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCING A FULLY BALANCED DAC & AMP FROM EARMEN - THE ST-AMP
EarMen is an audio company that has been developing Amplifiers for more than a decade and working on perfecting neutral, natural and clean sound in a beautiful and quality design. EarMen, with years of expertise, is proud to introduce their brand-new DAC & Amp - the ST-Amp. The EarMen ST-Amp is a Fully Balanced Desktop Headphone Amplifier with a Pre Amp option and an integrated DAC. It has extraordinary sound, whether it is listened to from an integrated DAC or an external one. It is carefully made for headphones, eliminating unpleasant pop-and-click phenomena when turning it on or off. The EarMen ST-Amp is a versatile device that offers 6.35mm (SE) and 4.4mm (BAL) headphone outputs. It also has RCA (SE) and 4.4mm Balanced as inputs and pre-outputs. Elevate your music listening experience with the brand-new EarMen ST-Amp!

FEATURES DAC CHIP FROM ESS SABRE THAT DELIVERS DETAILED AND ANALYTICAL SONIC DELIVERY
The EarMen ST-Amp is equipped with an ES9280 DAC chip from ESS Sabre. ESS Sabre DAC chips are considered the gold standard in audio. The EarMen ST-Amp with ES9280 DAC chip in its circuitry promises to deliver a truly immersive, high-resolution audio experience. It fulfils the promise of the sound experience matching the artist's original recording. The EarMen ST-Amp enables the path to Hi-Res audio that you have never experienced before. It supports Hi-Res audio formats like DSD (Direct Stream Digital) 64/128 DoP, DXD (Digital eXtreme Definition) 384/352.5kHz, and PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) Up to 384 kHz. The EarMen ST-Amp allows you to explore the unexplored with its sonic ability!


FULLY BALANCED CIRCUITRY FOR A TRUE-TO-LIFE SONIC PERFORMANCE
The EarMen ST-Amp has a Fully Balanced amplifier architecture, so every sound from the input will become even cleaner and better. A team of engineers at EarMen have utilised the same topology for SE signals, so they become Balanced with almost no phase shift, additional noise or THD. The sound from the SE output does not lag compared to the Balanced output. The headphone outputs are powered by two TPA6120 operational amplifiers that are excellent performers in the audiophile world. To make the experience complete, EarMen uses a high-quality Balanced ALPS potentiometer that contributes to the sound remaining unchanged.

SPECTACULAR DYNAMICS AND ULTRA-LOW THD WITH PRE-OUT OPTION
The EarMen ST-Amp affects the sound so that your DAC can be heard better. Although many DACs have excellent specifications, it is not enough for the sound to fully express itself. You won't lose any detail because the EarMen ST-Amp completely utilises the maximum dynamics offered by the source. In addition, it controls various headphone drivers, thus improving accuracy, neutrality and transparency. The dynamic range above >126dB will guarantee you liveliness and musicality. With perfectly Balanced sound and incredible dynamics, you will have the feeling of being in a concert hall! The EarMen ST-Amp also has very low Total Harmonic Distortion, which allows you a higher power factor, lower peak currents, and higher efficiency without distortions. On the back panel of the ST-Amp, there are SE and BAL Pre-Out outputs. This option allows you to use the ST-Amp as a DAC and preamplifier for a High-End audio system.


NOISELESS LINEAR POWER SUPPLY FOR CLEAN AND JITTER-FREE AUDIO
The EarMen ST-Amp has a noiseless linear power supply offering stability, providing enough power even for the most demanding headphones. Apart from the unique topology of the amplifier, the power supply is worthy of excellent characteristics, which is often not the case with most amplifiers. Also, you have the option of selecting the sound source. Analogue input or Digital/Integrated DAC allows you to listen to your favourite music irrespective of the "source." The EarMen ST-Amp delivers clean and jitter-free audio for you to experience pure sonic bliss!
