Hifiman, a leader in high fidelity personal audio, today debuted a new fully balanced Class A desktop headphone amplifier, the Goldenwave Prelude. Originally released by the Goldenwave brand that was acquired by Hifiman earlier this year, the Prelude headphone amplifier, which is Goldenwave’s reference headphone amplifier, boasts several features that make it an appealing option for audiophiles and music lovers seeking lifelike, full range sonics.
The amplifier uses a fully balanced Class A MOSFET design that delivers high current output, providing clean and powerful sound reproduction. The amplifier’s circuit is fully discrete, and includes a precise single-ended-to-balanced conversion circuit, allowing both single-ended RCA and balanced inputs to convey the benefits of fully balanced drive, which helps reduce noise and interference, enhancing the overall audio performance, the company says.
The Prelude’s preamplifier circuit is entirely independent and uses an Alps quad potentiometer, known for its high quality and precision, to achieve a natural and balanced attenuator.
Specially customized for Prelude, the high-power and low-noise toroidal transformer provides clean and stable power to all levels of the headphone amplifier, contributing to improved sound quality.
The amplifier’s housing is made from a single piece of aluminum, helping it to isolate harmful resonances that may degrade audio performance, ensuring cleaner sound output.
