Now, you've put your hand in the pocket and seen that there is some nice money in there so you finally bought those nifty and hi-end audiophile headphones you were yearning for during the long last months.

You went home, inserted it in your stereo and enjoyed the sound, then went on to the PC, because there were some tracks you definitely wanted to listen to on some really serious headphones. And so you did, but still, it all feels like it's not enough and you aren't able to make them deliver the quality they were built to provide.

What comes next? If you are in trouble answering this question, here is an answer: buy a dedicated headphone amp, even a desktop one because this is by far the utmost thing to do when your head is wearing top-shelf gear.

HeadRoom is now offering you THE Desktop Amp: a complete and complex solution for all the audiophile urges that may haunt you.

Not only will this amp provide you with quality signal coming from a standard analog source (via RCA connectors) but it will also stay "in touch" with all other signal sources you might have (except for the wireless): optical, coaxial or USB, no matter which and how, they'll all work.

All inside the HeadRoom Desktop Amp is top-shelf: the crazy-expensive Burr-Brown op-amps, DAC modules, everything; of course the purpose is quite clear: delivering a crystal clear sound and smooth operation for a long time.

If you want more, there's more: the Max Module, as well, insanely expensive (15 buck per each chip on the board, gold-traces, silver-soldered pieces and so on) but it also is one of the planet's most hailed audiophile modules available.

Upgrading the HeadRoom Desktop Amp requires a new power supply sold separately for a rather staggering $399, but the whole new gear (which can cut up to $1,800 off your bank account) is really the thing any audiophile would be proud of having in his home.


















So, if you happen to own some Etymotic or hi-end Sennheiser or god knows what other cool, top-shelf headgear at home and want to use it at full throttle, you might consider saving up some cash and heading to a store for some hi-tech shopping.
