M2Tech revealed the new Marley MkII Headphones Amplifier, designed to encompass a wealth of technological solutions in the compact, yet stylish Rockstars Series case which fits every style of furniture thanks to its essential lines and minimal design.
According to the press release, ease of use was the keyword of this new design. The Marley MkII can be operated by its front panel controls, as well as by its IR remote controller (same as the one used for the Young MkIII DAC/Preamplifier and the Nash Phono Preamplifier) and by Bluetooth Low Energy using the free app available for both Android and iOS. The high contrast OLED display reports all the useful status information and allows for easily navigate the configuration menu.
The Marley MkII drives both single-ended and balanced headphones, through the 6.35mm (1/4-inch) jack and the 4-pin XLR connector on its front panel, thanks to its balanced, discrete components, FET-input power stage. This high bias, high speed design uses low inductance MELF resistors and polyester capacitors for bypass and compensation. Up to 10Vrms are available on the single-ended output when driving high impedance headphones, while at least 9Vrms are still available on 8 Ohms loads. The output voltage swing us twice on the balanced output. The amp features a dual, extremely low-noise, discrete components regulator that allows for an exceptionally detailed rendition of the musical flow, the company says. Volume control is based on a MUSES72320 device.
The Marley MkII offers a 3-band tone control to compensate the tonal balance changes due to the driver-ear coupling and a cross-feed circuit can be activated which physiologically reduces the channel separation, leading to a more natural perception of the soundstage. The Marley MkII allows to choose its output impedance between Low-Z, 10 Ohms and 47 Ohms.
The amplifier features both single-ended and balanced inputs, plus a tape output and a preamplifier output (doubling the headphones single-ended output to RCA sockets on the back panel) which allow for driving a power amplifier. The performance of the Marley MkII can be further increased by powering it with the Van Der Graaf MkII ultra-low noise power supply through the 4-pin XLR supply connector on the amp’s back panel.
