The DACS Clarity HeadLite 4 Headphone Amplifier has been in development for some time and is now available. Though it shares the overall configuration of the HeadLite 3+ there are several performance improvements and component updates; you’ll get all the clarity, detail and flexibility our users have come to trust, with enhanced performance.
Clarity, Flexibility, +Power
 
Clarity and Sound Quality
Whatever the headphone task the quality of the end-product begins with what the artist hears. Accurate, clear and detailed reproduction of the whole audible frequency range is essential; any shortcomings will inevitably affect both the overdub and the overview. The DACS Clarity HeadLite 4 Headphone Amplifier maintains the HeadLite series’ worldwide reputation for Clarity and detail.

Optimum Drive
The metering on the four busses that feed the amplifiers allows you to set the input levels to optimum, making sure the input to the amplifier gives the best output to headphones.
 
+Power
+Power is an analog plug-in module that provides all the ultra-clean drive the most power-hungry headphones need. Fitted as standard in Channel 1,  +Power can be added to the other channels at the time of ordering or retrofitted later.
 
Power and drive
Amplifier power is not just about level (sound pressure level) it is about clean level (sonically pure level). A cheap headphone amplifier when pushed beyond its narrow limits can begin to distort before your headphones or your ears. This not only compromises the sound, but it can also damage your hearing. A headphone amp which has enough power should be `cruising’ for the whole of its useable range, the output signal always as clean as the technical specifications indicate it should be
The power of the output on the standard channels is more than sufficient to drive virtually any headphone of any impedance clean and loud. +Power provides drive to spare for taking low-impedance high-power headphones to the peak of their performance. It will also allow the driving of multiple higher impedance phones.
