HeadRoom Desktop Power Supply

Any hard-core audiophile will tell you that a power supply is basically as important to the sound quality as the actual electronic components in the audio signal path. If you think about it for a second, you’ll note that the rapidly changing (with the audio signal) demand for current in the amplifier electronics has to come from somewhere. In an inferior power supply, this volatile, inconsistent demand for current shows up as tiny voltage variation flaws on the amplifier's power supply rails. This can cause less than articulate response, muddy detail resolution, pinched dynamics, and crosstalk between channels -- among other rather nasty-sounding things. But in an excellent power supply, like the superb voltage tracking regulator circuit in the HeadRoom 'DPS', the regulator very quickly, precisely, and accurately responds to even quite minor voltage fluctuations due to output current changes and drives the supply rail to the exact voltage specified instantaneously. The end sonic result is fully extended timbral accuracy, precise tonal texture presentation, and uber-quick dynamic range liquidity. Obscure soundstage imaging details and subtle recording nuances will also become much more clearly evident when correctly powering your Class-A high-end headphone amplifier.

The DPS is also very stable over an ultra-wide temperature range with no measureable degradation in performance. Plus with six independent outputs located on the rear panel of the unit, you can get that same seriously-upgraded power supply benefit for up to six of your HeadRoom audio components using 5-pin DIN-plug power receptacles. We feel the HeadRoom 'DPS' is easily amongst the best head-amp power supplies available on the audiophile market today, at a significantly lower cost than many other similar-quality units... SO GET THE POWER!

We recommend trying out the DPS with any high-end HeadRoom Ultra Micro or Desktop headphone amp and/or DAC and hearing for yourself the difference a strong precise power supply can make to the sound quality of your "Class-A"-biased audiophile headphone rig. As always, keep in mind our standard HeadRoom "no-questions-asked" 30-day return policy guarantees you'll like what you hear. If not, feel free to send it back within one month for a full purchase price refund -- No RMA needed!
