From Bryston: Advancing our tradition of unmatched audio performance and functionality, the Bryston BHA-1 balanced headphone amplifier delivers the finest listening experience from a vast array of headphone types. Functionally a miniature power amplifier, our engineers applied the same robust design elements to the BHA-1 that have made our full-sized amps legendary worldwide. Unique to the BHA-1, six class A, fully discrete operational amplifiers generate up to 2 watts of power for exceptional dynamic range. The BHA-1 offers both balanced outputs and single-ended outputs for traditional headphones, as well as a pair of rear-mounted XLR outputs that enable users to operate the BHA-1 as a high-quality analog preamplifier. Hear the best your headphones have to offer by powering them with a Bryston BHA-1.

The advantage of powering each headphone driver (right and left) with two amplifiers configured in balanced or series mode is a doubling of the signal voltage to each speaker. The Bryston BHA-1 employs the vast benefits of balanced amplifier designs that are inherently clean and stable especially when there is a demand for higher power and/or a difficult load to drive. Because most headphones are not balanced devices, Bryston provides a traditional (unbalanced) ¼-inch input on the BHA-1 as well as inputs for balanced headphones.

"The Bryston BHA-1 is an impeccably designed and solidly built amplification device for speakers that you just happen to wear on your head... If you are in the market for a top-class headphone amplifier and don’t need a built-in DAC, you really cannot go wrong with choosing the BHA-1. Highly recommended."
