With the great variety of headphone choices, it is only possible to achieve the best performance with a single headset in mind. You can not use the universal headphone amp concept with the Select level of performance. That is why we have built a dedicated Stax* headphone amp to be paired the the Select DAC.

Description

Integrated system.
The Select Headphone Amplifier has been designed to take advantage of the powerful DAC outputs. This allows it to achieve a level of headphone playback never heard.

Analog bypass.
If you are sharing the headphones with a two channel system, use an internal bypass in the amp. Simply turn off the unit for the signal to be sent to your other system.

Anodized finishes.
Elegant yet commanding, our finishes are available in a matte silver or matte black anodize. Our products include our in-house designed viton feet, but any audiophile M6X1 foot can be installed to personalize your system.
