HIGH PoWeR AmPLIFIeR

The  powerful  amplifier  inside  the  HA75-DAC  is  designed  to 

accommodate all types of headphones from 8Ω to 400Ω. As we have 

no way of determining the headphone impedance, the amplifier is 

very loud. Exposure to high sound pressure levels for an extended 

period of time can cause irreparable ear damage. Please consult 

your local health authority to ensure you do not expose yourself 

beyond recommended limits. Radial shall not be held responsible 

for using the HA75-DAC without due care or beyond recommended 

legal limits imposed by your local government. Use by children is not 

recommended and therefore must be carefully monitored by parents 

or guardians.

HIGH VoLTAGe

There are high voltages inside the HA75-DAC. Before opening the unit 

- It must be unplugged from the power supply and allowed to discharge 

for at least 30 minutes. Touching the wrong place can cause a severe 

shock. High voltages present at the tube socket will remain present 

for some time after switching the HA75-DAC off. There are no user 

serviceable parts inside. Only use indoors in a dry space. Do not open 

unless you are a qualified technician or have experience with tubes.

The  Hafler  HA75-DAC  is  a  digital  audio  converter  and  tube-based 

headphone amp with a number of innovative features that allow users to 

tailor the listening experience to their liking. At the heart of the HA75-DAC 

is a 12AX7 tube utilized for signal amplification. Tubes are preferred by 

audio enthusiasts and recording engineers alike for their smooth, natural 

sound, and the HA75-DAC exploits these characteristics to produce a 

detailed and warm sounding output that has won the praise of many 

experts in both the recording and mastering industries.

The  HA75-DAC  also  employs  high  quality  digital-to-analog  converters 

that allow connection over USB from digital audio sources such as a 

laptop  computer.  Sample  rates  of  up  to  24bit/192khz  are  supported, 

routing the signal through the tube-based analog circuitry. This approach 

combines the best of both the digital and analog worlds in one powerful 

and flexible headphone amplifier.
