Cayin presents the HA-3A Black, a valve headphone amplifier designed for discerning music lovers. Its design features a high-end power supply and air-core wiring, ensuring optimal signal transmission and reduced interference. The 12AU7 tubes, combined with the 22DEA RCA rectifier, prepare the signal for the 6V6S power tubes, renowned for their smooth and warm sound reproduction. Each output tube has its own transformer, ensuring stable power output suitable for headphones of all impedances, from 8 to 600 ohms.

With its three headphone outputs—6.35 mm jack, 4.4 mm jack and XLR—the HA-3A is compatible with the majority of models on the market, whether unbalanced or balanced. The three-level gain control allows you to optimise the output according to the headphones used, whilst the ALPS potentiometer ensures precise adjustment and preserves signal purity.

Its robust metal chassis, mounted on shock-absorbing feet, minimises vibrations and electromagnetic interference. With its RCA and XLR inputs, it integrates seamlessly into a complete hi-fi system, whether that be a CD player, a DAC or a network player. The Cayin HA-3A Black offers a sophisticated solution for fully appreciating every musical nuance.
