■ Overview

The HA-P5 is a high-performance and light-weight portable headphone amplifier/USB DAC ideal for mobile
audiophiles.

Equipped with DSD 5.6MHz and PCM 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res audio input, and massive power amplifier section that
delivers 160mW + 160mW of output power, the circuit design employs Left and Right channel ground-separation
for high-quality headphone listening with ground-separation driven headphones. An analog audio output turns your
home hi-fi system into today's Hi-Res audio system.

■ Concept

 Ergonomic and human-friendly design

From the human-engineering point of view, the design of the HA-P5 started from the scratch. Compactness,
lightweight and comfortable for human hands are keys to design, and it weighs only 182g or 6.4 oz. which is the
lightest portable device in TEAC’s portable headphone amplifier range.

 Delivering the best sound with daily essentials

The fundamental circuit design of the HA-P5 is based on the high ly re pute d TEA C Refer ence 501 s erie s, t he UD-50 1,
a USB DAC, and the HA-501, a Headphone Amplifier. A high-performance D/A Converter PCM1795 from BurrBrown
allows the Hi-Res digital data to perform its potential, as discrete design push-pull circuit design delivers
high-quality audio signal from its 1/8" headphone jack.

 Made in Tokyo

Hi gh-q uali ty is anot her a nswe r fro m TEA C. E very s ingle HA-P5 is manufactured at the TEAC's own factory in Tokyo,
Japan, all though the assembly processes, from the soldering to the final quality checking,

■ Performance – High-performance digital circuit that pioneering the Hi-Res Audio

 BurrBrown PCM1795 D/A Converter

Same as the highly reputed USB DAC, the TEAC UD-501, and the industry-standard DSD Master
Recorder, the TASCAM DA-3000, a high-performance D/A Converter, BurrBrown PCM1795 is
employed.

 Dual on-board master clocks for 44.1kHz and 48kHz systems

Master clock is another key player on digital processing. The HA-P5 employs two high-precision
crystal master clocks for 44.1kH (22.5792MHz) and 48kHz (24.576MHz) systems, to synchronize
with sampling frequency of the incoming digital audio signal completely, which means accurate
Digital-to-Analog conversion. Asynchronous transfer mode is also supported to cancel
less-accurate clock signal sent from a computer or smartphone, for jitter-noise-free signal.

 Circuit design eliminating noise interference

Circuit layout is designed to separate digital and analog sections, in order to eliminate distortions that is produced
by interference noise.

 Multi-platform design

The HA-P5 supports both USB A and USB Micro B inputs for direct connection with iOS devices –
meaning no additional cable is required, such as Apple's Lightning-USB Camera Adapter –,
allowing DSD 5.6MHz and PCM 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res Audio input. A USB Micro B input allows
connections with Android device, and Windows/Macintosh computers, at DSD 5.6MHz and PCM
24-bit/192kHz. A Hi-Res Audio Player software/app is provided free of charge.
