AudioByte Super Head

The Audiobyte Super Head is a reference headphone amplifier and line preamplifier, the result of Audiobyte's first step into the analog domain after twelve years of mastering digital audio, delivering a signal path engineered for nuance, micro-dynamics, and absolute signal integrity above all other qualities.

Type and Technology

Reference headphone amplifier and line preamplifier, solid-state. Fully discrete analog circuit designed around Audiobyte's philosophy of minimum signal path and maximum component quality. Balanced XLR inputs and unbalanced RCA inputs. Balanced 4-pin XLR headphone output and single-ended 6.35mm output. Balanced XLR line outputs for use as a preamplifier. Volume control with reference-quality attenuator. Gain switching for IEMs and full-size headphones. Pairs naturally with the Audiobyte Super Vox DAC.

Sound Character

The Super Head was built by Audiobyte engineers who know what digital audio systems are capable of at their best, and who wanted a headphone amplifier that could reveal that capability fully without adding color or character of its own. The result is an amplifier of exceptional transparency, fine-grained micro-dynamic resolution, and complete tonal neutrality that lets the recording and the DAC speak without interference.

Build and Finish

Premium chassis built to Audiobyte's reference standards. Designed to pair with the Super Vox DAC as a complete headphone and speaker preamplifier system.

Best For

Audiobyte Super Vox owners who want a reference headphone amplifier that matches the DAC's resolving power, and audiophiles who want maximum transparency and micro-dynamic precision over tonal color.
