Viva Egoista 845

The Viva Egoista 845 is the pinnacle of Viva Audio's headphone amplifier design, a single-ended 845 tube amplifier built to drive the most difficult headphone loads with resolution and dynamics that rival full-range speaker systems. It received a Product of the Year award from Headphone.Guru and has been described in the press as the Ferrari of extreme high-end audio.

Type and Technology

Single-ended Class A headphone amplifier with zero negative feedback, using 845 output triodes and specially designed output transformers intended exclusively for headphone use. The result is 15 watts of pure Class A power, enough to command even very demanding headphones.

Sound Character

Build and Finish

Handbuilt Viva chassis with balanced and single-ended headphone connectivity, including a direct input that bypasses the preamp stage. The Egoista 845 comes in a virtually unlimited array of colors and can be personalized to match your interior; contact us to discuss custom colors.
