If music is an important part of your life you deserve to hear the real thing. The Deckard is a powerhouse of a headphone amplifier combined with a high-performance DAC. There’s a front panel volume control and switches to choose gain and input so you can use the Deckard as a great line-level preamp to drive your whole desktop system. The sound is exciting and dynamic with beautifully rendered tonal colors that make music come alive.

"The soundstage is spacious, and never 'stuck' to the speakers; bass is full, defined and deep, and best of all the treble is refined and pure."

EXCLUSIVE DAC AND AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY

The DAC section has impressive specs and handles 16 to 32-bits and 44.1kHz to 384kHz sampling rates. The Deckard features a single-ended class-A output stage with good damping characteristics to control the strong and tuneful bass. Its power handling capabilities at lower impedances is ideal for planar magnetic headphones, but It drives any headphone with power to spare.

ENGINEERED AND HANDCRAFTED

The style and build quality is simply outstanding, the brushed aluminum finish and heft of the Deckard is substantial. The Deckard has input and gain settings with a smooth-turning volume control and puts out 4W of incredibly low-distortion sound for more air, separation and soundstaging abilities.

Madison A. ★★★★★

I’ve been through a lot of amps, but this one makes my headphones sound like I’m hearing the master tape for the first time. The DAC and amp combo is seamless, and even at low volume the detail stays clean. It’s replaced my entire desktop setup.

George ★★★★★

The front volume knob has that perfect resistance—smooth but with enough grip that I can dial in precise levels without looking. Feeding it my lossless files, the DAC brings out textures in tracks I’ve heard hundreds of times, like the air around a cymbal crash. I’ve spent more nights just listening

John ★★★★★

I’ve had this amp for two weeks and it’s completely changed how I listen to my digital files—the built-in DAC makes everything sound so much more alive than my old setup. The front volume knob is smooth and precise, letting me dial in exactly the right level without any jumpiness. It’s rare to find
