Headphone Amps and DACs are critical components in your audio system.

If you're considering investing in -- or you already own -- terrific-sounding, expensive audiophile headphones, you're likely not hearing their full acoustic potential without a headphone amp. And if you listen to music on a digital source such as a computer or CD player, an outboard DAC can greatly enhance your sound quality with almost any headphone. Headphone amps and DACs can be purchased as all-in-one units, or as separate individual components.

HeadRoom sells headphone amps and DACs from other top manufacturers as well as fabricating our own complete line of 'made-in-Montana' headphone amps and DACs, including portable headphone amps, computer-ready digital USB headphone amplifiers, high-end headphone amp/DAC combos, and our flagship balanced headphone amplifiers. Founded in Bozeman Montana in 1992, HeadRoom pioneered many industry innovations including the first commercially available USB-powered portable amp and the world's first differential-drive XLR balanced headphone amp.

Not sure what you want? That's why we're here! Call our HeadRoom headphone experts: (800) 828-8184 or email us: sales@headphone.com.
