Modular headphone amplifier with a Sabre D/A converter and a USB-B input.
Drachenfels USB: the design
The Drachenfels USB is the Drachenfels with the USB board: alongside the analogue inputs it adds a USB-B input with a Sabre D/A converter, for connection to a computer. The two Neutrik headphone outputs, the Alps pot and the external power supply remain.
Lehmannaudio's headphone amplifiers, made in Germany, are built for high-level headphone listening: zero-feedback circuits and selected parts in the signal path.
