This masterpiece embodies high-performance flexibility for every person to be able to custom compose sonic performance reliably, repeatedly, or even spontaneously. Artistic expression with sound!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOh, and by the way, it is also a Line-Level Preamplifier!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are fifteen independent controls available, each of which was exhaustively developed for convenient adjustability and aural variety. Two selectable stereo RCA jack pairs receive the input signals. Even these RCA jacks are of our own design. Teflon® insulated and gold plated, we have been producing these excellent RCA jacks since the mid-1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume is controlled on the facia by the sexy front thumb wheel and also by the included Radio Frequency remote control, both of which operate a precision stepped relay ladder matrix attenuator in half dB steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RF remote can be operated anywhere in the home, even through walls or cabinetry, especially useful when using the unit as a stand-alone preamplifier. Next to the front volume control wheel you’ll find the Mute switch to instantly kill the signal. Spinning the volume wheel all the way to minimum also mutes the signal. There is also a user adjustable Headphone Overload Protection System which declares maximum output level to protect precious headphones and your ears!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd you know how maddening it is to try to listen to a mono LP record on headphones - which is why we have provided a MONO switch!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn case your source needs some correction or if your own ears do not hear equally, we have included a Balance Control which can swing the signal up to 72dB either way. In its center detent position, this special balance control is completely out of the circuit. Also to be able to execute some sonic authority over what is handed to you in a given recording or to just make your headphones sound nicer (to you!) we have provided historically proven pleasing and gentle Tone Controls - and these Baxandall Bass and Treble equalizers can be completely bypassed at the push of a button. Try them! We think you really will enjoy having the choice to enliven and enrich your sonic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong those lines, the Variable Feedback control allows you to control the amount of overall negative feedback applied to the amplifier from 0dB, or no Global Negative Feedback, to 10dB of NFB. Negative Feedback in electronics is when a small portion of the output signal is re-introduced back to the input signal to provide a more stable and beneficial corrective result. This control is very useful when determining how “tight” you want your amplifier to sound. For example, a simple female vocal with minimal percussion can sound more intimate with very little feedback, but a complicated symphony orchestra passage may sound better positioned with more feedback. Applying different amounts of negative feedback can also affect the slew rate and apparent “speed” of the sonic character. Other aspects for which to listen include placement, forward or relaxed, darker vs shimmering, or punchy vs mellow. Feel free to play with this knob and listen for the not-so-subtle diversity that altering the amount of feedback provides. It’s one of our favorite circuit tricks and we’ve been pulling this one for decades!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAh! And our other coolest tonal trick: Switching Topology!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe’re pretty sure we originated this concept in the audiophile world back with the Manley SE\/PP 300B power amplifiers and it’s only because we have our own in-house magnetics department that we are able to devise such complaisant output transformers that can accommodate such radical demands. The Absolute Headphone amplifier features custom hand-wound air-gapped dual-mode MANLEY IRON® output transformers, designed and manufactured at the Manley Labs factory in California. Interestingly, the output tube stage can be switched on-the-fly between all-triode Push-Pull to Single-Ended topology. This completely alters the harmonic structure from odd-order to even-order and basically halves the output power again providing yet another spicy ingredient to flavor the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, with a push of a button, these transformers cycle through three ranges of output loads accommodating headphones from 12 to 600 Ohms or greater. Choose between three sets of outputs: the expected ¼” TRS Headphone Jack, a 4-pin XLR Balanced Stereo Output for your high-end balanced headphones, and a set of stereo RCA outputs to use this component as your line-level preamplifier in your existing hifi system. The Bypass Thru Mode sends RCA Input 1 directly to the RCA Outputs, when in STANDBY mode. Useful, as your main audio system sources can drive either playback system without having to change upstream cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Absolute Headphone amplifier incorporates our own innovative purpose-designed-for-audio High Voltage switched-mode power supply. All super-low impedance DC rails are fully regulated and worlds quieter than any linear supply we have ever encountered. The resulting sound is fast and dynamic with a deep punchy bass, deadly-quiet inky blacks, and superior headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6AQ5 or EL90 is the vacuum tube used in the output stage of the Absolute Headphone amplifier. It is well suited for our purposes in a headphone amplifier. The tube is configured as a triode due to the low power requirements needed for headphone use. This tube is widely available from well-known manufacturers such as RCA and GE. The tubes can be ordered as a matched quad and for ease of use the tubes do not require biasing.

The Aurium is a pure class-A amp that couples a tube stage with a MOSFET power stage. MOSFETs sound like tubes yet have a powerful grip on bass. There are few better ways to combine the magic of tubes with the extended and tight low end of solid-state than the Aurium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe zero-feedback circuit offers all of Pathos' hallmarks: exquisite musicality, airy transparency, punchy dynamics, and total lack of listening fatigue.

For example, the DC filament transformer is shielded from the rest of the sensitive circuitry, lowering the noise floor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOn the back of the Aurium is a balance control to ensure your soundstage is dead center. There is also a gain trim setting which allows listeners to set a comfortable range on the volume knob, thus optimizing Aurium for headphones of any sensitivity. Worried about your low-impedance in-ear monitors? Fear not. The Aurium will handle those and pretty much any headphone available. The stock power supply is beefy and gets the job done with aplomb.

No feature has been overlooked in search of improvements, both functional and sonic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQutest is based on Chord's award-winning proprietary FPGA technology developed for the class-leading Hugo 2 DAC\/headphone amp, giving it proven class-leading technical and sonic performance. It features a galvanically isolated USB-B, and optical and coaxial digital inputs. This also brings the Qutest in line with the house sound of Chord DACs—for those who know, that includes depth, warmth, width, and soundstage layering like you wouldn’t believe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSolid Aluminum Billet\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Qutest chassis is all-new, too. It has significantly greater mass than its predecessor and has been precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum billet. The Qutest PCB nestles in a shallow cavity in the solid aluminum chassis, giving the circuit board greater protection within the casework, and additional isolation from external vibration compared to previous designs. While the Qutest is indeed quite cute, it in no way feels cheap. This small but mighty package’s aluminum chassis feels rock solid and high-end despite its near pocket-size dimensions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLots of Features\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQutest offers Hugo 2’s proprietary user-selectable frequency-shaping filters and input selection controls, available via two fascia-mounted spheres, introducing useful flexibility. It also features RCA analog outputs for connection to integrated amplifiers, preamps, and headphone amps, plus high-resolution dual-data digital inputs for connection to future Chord Electronics products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe find these selectable features add a lot of flexibility to the Qutest. Though subtle, the filters do change perceptions of transient dynamics, detail and soundstage, and we think there’s a little something for everyone here, from slight warming effects to clean and clear. Best of all, it’s done with Chord’s signature clarity and transparency, yet with no sacrifice of musicality even on the most linear filter settings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA further new feature is a user-selectable output voltage available in 1, 2, and 3 V RMS outputs for flexible connectivity with a wide range of devices. This is another great option as preamps from different eras may expect different voltages, so a vintage preamp, which may have a higher input sensitivity designed for phono, may enjoy the 1 V setting. Conversely, a more modern, lower gain preamp with a lower input sensitivity may like the 2 V or 3 V options, especially if it has tubes, which tend to benefit from more voltage gain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe point is that the Qutest gives you the flexibility to match the output to your accompanying volume device, an invaluable and oft-overlooked capability.

The mains transformer is also an audio-grade unit by EDIS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiasing is fully automatic bias so no manual tube-biasing is required, and the electrical circuits are a zero-feedback design.

There are no transistors in the signal path of the circuit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XLR balanced inputs use symmetrical high-end audio grade Lundahl transformers. Audio source selection is made using high-end relays, which are placed directly behind the input connectors, in order to limit interference and noise.

Not only does it allow for greater longevity and make repairs easier, it allows the use of higher quality wire and more direct signal connections without grounding or planing challenges common in PCB design.
