Little Dot MK VIII SE MK 8 SE balanced headphone tube amplifier

Description:

The Little Dot MK VIII SE further specializes our Little Dot MK VI+ platform for no-compromise performance with high impedance headphones. Fully balanced architecture with single-ended headphone functionality as well, the Little Dot MK VIII SE is also dual-mono with independent amplifiers with their own isolated toroidal transformer power supplies. An output capacitor-less design minimizes components in the signal path, delivering a "pure" signal free from unwanted distortion and color. The Little Dot MK VIII SE's sound signature is designed to be provide a reference-level of transparency with a touch of tube warmth and tonal richness. With 60V p-p voltage swing, dynamic range and impact is both effortless and thunderous. Low frequencies extend deep with slam and authority, yet remains tight and musical. The Little Dot MK VIII SE is designed to be used with high impedance headphones like Sennheisers (HD600, HD650, HD800) and Beyerdynamics.
