Some engineers have used the TPA6120 on the buffer stage to achieve 750mA output current. However, it has 10ohm output impedance, which isn’t ideal for low impedance IEMs or headphones. The AMP7 uses discrete components which are usually on desktop amplifiers, but that makes the development process is much more difficult. After a long development period and with our final design, we present the AMP7 card that has both high voltage and high current output and at the same time maintains low output impedance with extremely good measurements. AMP7 compliments the premium performance of the DX150 and the DX200, giving you even more choices when playing the music you enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table_o418fscimQZEg1oshu4aX\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTable\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"pair_3u9fnESIQrtuEu6ye_zM4k\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label_3bLwbW8ibvYc5tUwpKVQsL firstSpecWhenNoGroupName_2L9ob5rxYHNpmiwoNrY0FE\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableColumnLabel\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"value_11Av1yGkVYn9TX48mQeu9v firstSpecWhenNoGroupName_2L9ob5rxYHNpmiwoNrY0FE\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableColumnValue\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh Voltage Swing: +\/-8 V\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"pair_3u9fnESIQrtuEu6ye_zM4k\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label_3bLwbW8ibvYc5tUwpKVQsL\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableColumnLabel\"\u003eOutput Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"value_11Av1yGkVYn9TX48mQeu9v\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableColumnValue\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2700 mA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"pair_3u9fnESIQrtuEu6ye_zM4k\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label_3bLwbW8ibvYc5tUwpKVQsL\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableColumnLabel\"\u003eHeadphone Out\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"value_11Av1yGkVYn9TX48mQeu9v\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableColumnValue\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOutput Voltage: 3.2 Vrms\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response: 10 Hz to 45 kHz +\/- 0.3 dB\u003cbr\u003eS\/N: 122 dB\u003cbr\u003eTHD+N (no load at 1.8 Vrms): 0.00023%, -113 dB\u003cbr\u003eTHD+N (300 Ohms at 1.8 Vrms): 0.00023%, -113 dB\u003cbr\u003eOutput Impedance: 0.3 Ohm\u003cbr\u003eDNR: 122 dB\u003cbr\u003eCrosstalk: -106 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"pair_3u9fnESIQrtuEu6ye_zM4k\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label_3bLwbW8ibvYc5tUwpKVQsL\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableColumnLabel\"\u003eLine Out\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"value_11Av1yGkVYn9TX48mQeu9v\" data-selenium=\"specsItemGroupTableColumnValue\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOutput Voltage: 3.2 Vrms\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response: 10 Hz to 45 kHz +\/- 0.3 dB\u003cbr\u003eS\/N: 117 dB\u003cbr\u003eTHD+N (no load at 1.8 Vrms): 0.00023%, -113 dB\u003cbr\u003eDNR: 117 dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eiBasso AMP7 Discrete 3.5mm Single Ended Amplifier Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"iBasso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32131020226635,"sku":"AMP7","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/products\/iBasso-AMP7-Discrete-Single-Ended-3_5mm-Amplifier-Card-for-DX220DX240.jpg?v=1653338323"},{"product_id":"chord-dave-endgame-dac-and-amp","title":"Chord Electronics DAVE | DAC and Amp","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/chord-logo.jpg?v=1686770418\" alt=\"Chord 2go logo\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 65%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChord's Flagship DAC, Dave, Contains the Latest-Generation FPGA Technology Making it the Most Advanced DAC in the World\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference-level DAC, headphone amplifier and preamplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e164k tap FPGA DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports up to 768kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigurable crossfeed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom Chord Electronics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDAVE is our flagship DAC, a true reference-level product, loaded with our latest-generation FPGA technology.

It is a state-of-the-art technology in audio amplification, leading to tremendous performance differences when compared to traditional audio amplifiers. As the “engine” of the audio system, Current Mode Amplification features a fully discrete and topological structure, and can achieve ultra-high sound performance that reproduces music so faithfully, it feels like you are in the original recording room. Using Current Mode Amplification technology, listeners can attain a much better listening experience, even when using consumer-grade headphones and speaker systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 3 years of pre-research with ESS, Questyle selected the flagship DAC ES9038PRO, a decoding chip with the most powerful performance of any DAC invented to date, and jointly launched CMA Fifteen with ESS, supporting 32bit\/768K and DSD 512 master band formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/15_front_2048x2048.jpg?v=1639520004\" alt=\"Questyle CMA Fifteen\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurrent Mode Amplification Meets Current mode DAC=Current Mode²\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo chase extreme performance, almost all high-end DAC chips from world-renowned manufacturers feature current-type output, which in most traditional amplifiers, is then coupled with an IV converter and classical amplifier architecture. But we at Questyle wondered: if the DAC’s output is already current-type, why don’t we also amplify that signal in current-mode? And that’s exactly what we did in the CMA Fifteen: we use the ES9038PRO current-mode DAC, and couple that to four Current Mode Amplifiers, which together operate in fully balanced mode to achieve “system-level lossless” purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCMA Fifteen supports MQA full decoding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMQA is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording.
