Musical Fidelity re-invents the headphone amplifier - again!
The Musical Fidelity M1 HPA pure Class A headphone amp has exactly the same sonic characteristics with headphones as their pure Class A amplifiers do for loudspeakers. Class A amps produce richer, fuller, smoother sound with a more extended bottom end than other designs. That's why the reputation of pure Class A amplifiers remains so strong - they really are the best for both loudspeakers and headphones.
Musical Fidelity has a long history of making superlative headphone amplifiers. Almost twenty years ago, they basically defined the headphone amplifier category with the original X-CAN. All this experience is parent in the performance and technical specs of the M1 HPA. Distortion is incredibly low (less than .0005% across the band) and frequency response is ruler flat. Noise ratio is outstanding. In every technical parameter this headphone amp is outstanding.
The M1 HPA has very low output impedance (below 1 ohm). Headphone amps' output impedance is often ignored, but it's actually a very important measurement. The HPA's extraordinarily low output impedance means that it can drive any headphone with complete linearity and low distortion. The vast majority of competitive headphone amplifiers cannot do this because they have much higher output impedance.
The M1 HPA has two inputs: line and USB (from computers, etc.). It has two headphone sockets on the front panel and a loop out facility as well as a variable line output so that it can be used as a very high quality simple preamp. The M1 also benefits from an upgraded, built-in power supply and power conditioning.
Musical Fidelity founder Antony Michaelson believe that neutrality and complete faithfulness to the original recording are what hi-fi is all about. If you agree with that ideal then the M1 HPA pure Class A headphone amp is for you.
