Product Description

The Phonitor XE is a high-end analog headphone amplifier (optionally with DAC) built for audiophiles and professionals who demand top-tier sound quality. It’s designed to drive both balanced and unbalanced headphones, even high-impedance or demanding models, with plenty of power, low distortion, and wide dynamic range. With its robust build, blown-out feature set, and flexible input/output options, it serves as a central hub in a reference-level headphone system.

Key Features
• Dual headphone outputs (balanced 4-pin XLR + standard 6.35 mm) for balanced or unbalanced headphones
• Extremely low output impedance for stable, clean driving of any headphones
• High output power — capable of delivering strong drive even to difficult, high-impedance headphones
• Supports multiple input options via analog (XLR + RCA) — and with optional digital module: USB, coaxial, optical, AES/EBU for use as DAC + amp
• Adjustable input gain and sensitivity — useful when switching source gear or headphones
• “Matrix” crossfeed/angle control to simulate speaker-like soundstage from headphones
• Solid internal power supply (linear, toroidal) and high-build quality — built for long-term use
