Headphone amp OPPO HA-2 SE EU

Nomadic sound at its peak.

Building on the success of the award-winning HA-2 EU portable headphone amplifier, the HA-2 SE EU features the new ESS Technology ES9028-Q2M DAC. With its ESS 32-bit Hyperstream parent architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, this new reference SABRE32 DAC exceeds all audiophile expectations for musical performance in portable applications. The HA-2 SE EU offers high-performance digital-to-analog conversion for Apple iPhone/iPod devices as well as many Android devices. A 3.5mm input is available for portable music players that do not have a USB digital output. With its VOOC fast charger and powerful battery that can serve as a backup power source for your device, the HA-2 SE EU is a true companion for nomadic music.

Class AB hybrid amplifier

The HA-2 SE EU’s headphone power amplifier circuit is a Class AB design built with integrated circuits (ICs) and discrete transistors. The discrete transistor output stage uses matched and hand-assembled parts. The output transistors are designed to operate in the most linear manner, including on the weakest signals, and deliver their full potential when power is needed.
