very good

A headphone amplifier? A single-ended power amplifier? Both equally! Cayin presents the HA-300, an extraordinarily exciting device that functions without compromises or limitations as both a power amplifier and a headphone amplifier. The amplifier can impress so much in terms of quality that HiFi fans who place equal importance on listening via headphones as they do with classic speakers can hardly pass by the Cayin HA-300 due to lack of alternatives. No question, with the HA-300, Cayin has created asonic masterpiece that pleasantly enriches the now rather poor in innovations scene of single-ended triodes.

Conclusion: Charming, without being soft, powerful and bass-heavy without being thickened, Cayin's extremely elaborate single-ended Class A headphone amplifier HA300 is a great music machine! Ideal for anyone who owns high-quality, preferably high-impedance headphones and is looking for a reliable, powerful-sounding device that is also technically interesting. Especially tempting for tube fans (300B!)
