WARNING
- Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce
sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for
exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may be
experiencing some hearing loss. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound, so after prolonged listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud
and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level.
- Loudspeakers : Before making any connections to loudspeakers, make sure all power is
turned off and only use suitable interconnects.

- Only use attachments/accessories specified and supplied by the manufacturer.
p

USB DAC for audiophiles. It is equipped with two(2) ECC82 vacuum tubes and solid state OP Amp,
which will work as preamp stage for the headphone section, and will work as out stage for the
pre-out section, while solid state transistors are built in at power amp stage for headphone
section. So, you can select one out of Tube and OP Amp according to character of music, your
feelings and mood.
All music has its own character. Some music need to be reproduced clearly and dynamically,
others will be better when they are played warmly and smoothly. The HA500H will be the best
device that will let you choose different sonic signature in reproducing music according to your
feelings and music character. The HA500H offers impedance selector(High/Low) with which you
can choose one of High or Low impedance, which suits better your headphones.
Equipped with two(2) Sabre³² ES9018K2M DAC(one DAC per channel), additional multi-core
microcontroller for high performance USB Audio DAC, completely isolated circuit design for
analogue and digital section with customized SMPS and Toroidal Transformer and high quality
aluminum enclosure crafted precisely by CNC machine with beautiful glass-sanding finish, the
HA500H will be Reference Level Hybrid Headphone Amplifier, DAC, Pre-Amplifier and
Asynchronous USB DAC for audiophiles
