SONY TA-ZH1ES Premium Headphone Amplifier with D.A. Hybrid Amplifier Circuit

Description

You are bidding on a lightly used and incredible headphone amplifier from Sony. The Sony TA-ZH1ES headphone amplifier is one of the best reviewed and cleanest headphone amplifiers on the market. The TA-ZH1ES also has one of the most complete set of both balanced and un-balanced output connection selection available. With enough power to push the most power hungry headphones on the market you just can't go wrong. Due to personal circumstances I am parting with my headphone collection as well as the collection of amplifiers I powered them with. This is you chance to get a great deal. The amplifier comes in the original packaging with all accessories like it just came from the store. See the included pictures of the actual amplifier you are bidding on. This amplifier would also match perfectly with the Sony MDR-Z1R headphones I currently have up for auction. Bid with confidence by checking my feedback on my recent sales for high end audio headphones and more. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you for considering my auction.

A variety of balanced and unbalanced headphone connections
The amp utilizes a variety of headphone output connections, including both balanced (4.4mm, 3.5mm & XLR4) and unbalanced (6.3mm, 3.5mm).
Rigid and durable for superior acoustic design and sound isolation
The headphone amplifier's top panel is made from a combination of steel and aluminum. These materials each have their own resonance frequency, which when used in combination, suppress each other. The result is the effective elimination of unnecessary resonance. It also features a rigid FBW chassis, which has been designed to isolate the circuit board from vibration. By minimizing vibration and preventing lateral movement, noise is reduced for a cleaner, purer sound. The newly added wall structure is made from a large aluminum block for high rigidity.
