NEWS: The Dedicated Amplifier/DAC units are available now

 In addition to driving your SR1a via the ‘Ribbon to Amp Interface’ you have these additional options:

1. The FOS amplifier unit without DAC allows you to connect any line out source to you SR1a 

2. The FOS amplifier unit with DAC allows you to connect any line-out and digital USB source to your SR1a: Stream from your phone, tablet, laptop of DAP player. Your SR1a all of a sudden become a easy to mode from room to room. take it with you on your travels and set it up in your hotel room for example

So – you aks yourself – how good does my SR1a sound on the FOS amplifier. I would say this: The SR1a sounds astonishingly good on the FOS. I’ve had the prototype in the shop for a few months now and saw a lot of jaws dropping during listening sessions.

But how does it compare to it being driven by a power amp? Well, in short: The SR1a will sound exactly as good as the amp connected to it. There is no limit to the top – throw a 100k€ of powerful tube amplification and I promise you it will sound as you may expect it will

3. OK, here things get serious: The Dedicated High-End Amplifier HAS-1a drives your SR-1a directly AND any other dynamic / planar magnetic Headphone AND – while we’re at it – speakers.

Ribbons for a reason.

The SR1a is the world’s first True-Ribbon™ headphone. Highly specialized ribbon drivers were developed that reproduce 30Hz to 30kHz bandwidth in order to eliminate the need for sealed chambered bass and allow for open air baffles (both front and back) for a true full-frequency soundfield.

Incredibly comfortable.

Weighing in at only 425 grams (15 ounces). Unlike standard headphones who’s weight and heat create listener discomfort over time. The SR1a Earfield™ design eliminates heat buildup on the ears providing a cool, natural airflow. Your ears will also appreciate the complete absence of sound pressure against the eardrums caused by traditional sealed can designs. SR1a headphones can be worn comfortably for many hours at any listening level.
