The HEADA (Headphone Amplifier) is Aurorasounds’ latest development and is, exactly like Karaki-san’s phono stage VIDA, and preamp PREDA a technical masterpiece.   

Balanced drive delivers a significant increase in audio performance due to the doubling of slew rate and voltage swing power, a massive reduction of THD distortion components, and the virtual absence of crosstalk at the headphones due to the elimination of the common ground plane. The acoustic result lends an extremely expansive, open-toned quality to your headphones, as well as very transparent and refined musical detail, tightly textural low bass, and perfectly pronounced mid-ranges. Many music lovers say its the closest headphones can come to sounding like a room speaker listening experience.

REVIEWS:

Inearspace online magazine (UK, Jan. 2015):
"...I love using this amp; it is golden with planar’s and low impedance headphones (and some high impedance ones such as the Sennheiser HD580) and it sound is very close to faultless in its chosen signature... and I am happy to award it a Good Buy Award! Aurorasound have made a great amp and I can’t wait to check out some more of their stuff!"

Qubus.com online magazine (France, Jan. 2015):
"...the amp Aurasound Heada certainly deserves Qobuzissime award for its excellent sound qualities that have given us moments intense musical enjoyment.  Moreover aesthetics a bit outdated this unit pleasant warmth and provides a very serious electronics manufacturing breathable human intervention, it will probably be the main reason for its not priced for everyone..."

HiFi Wigwam online magazine (UK, Nov. 2014):
"...the build quality is equally impressive. The quality of the circuit board, and case show real attention to detail. This is high end Japanese HiFi in the very best tradition. If you listen to Headphones a lot then the price won’t be an issue, if you don’t listen often, this would be considered a treat, either way I heartily recommend this amp. Superb sound quality and tank like build, while being handsome enough to give real pride of ownership. A pride that will last some time, as will the enjoyment. I’m in no rush to send this back..."

NetAudio magazine (Japan, Oct. 2014):
"...I have changed the headphone cable to Oyaide’s 3-pin balanced type. Again using an analogy, sushi tastes like the one served at ultra-high-class sushi restaurant in Ginza Japan. Rendering has such class and stately, the sound melts into your eardrums through the inner ear. Phrasing of jazz is feelingly fuller and richer, and the sound from trumpet and saxophone melted like snowflakes the moment it hit the eardrums, spreading inside your brain like honeydew. Vocal’s consonant feels like tasting rather than visual perception-----, I cannot write any further than that. For classical music, it becomes easier to detect deficiencies of music erformances. At the same time, it strikes again how great musical compositions are. HEADA is a work of art..."

DiGi Fi magazine (Japan, May 2014):
"...since the cosmetic design is very unique and somewhat classicstyle, it may not blend well with today’s high-tech audio equipment. However, those who are looking for a headphone amplifier for serious indoor listening, HEADA is an attractive choice!"
