Cayin Introduces the HA-3A - A Transformer Coupled, Balanced Driven Vacuum Tube Headphone Amplifier
Cayin presents a new entry to the power amplifier line-up of Cayin, the HA-3A. The Cayin HA-3A might look compact and simple in its approach. Cayin has devoted its renowned engineering, decades of audio equipment manufacturing and carefully selected performance-based components to make this happen. The team of engineers at Cayin paid attention to the powering on the HA-3A, which takes 60 seconds to power on, with a delay circuit which enhances circuit protection and minimises pop noise during start-up. You will experience tube sound being more 'liquid' or 'natural' through the midrange with the Cayin HA-3A. The HA-3A vacuum tube headphone amplifier allows you to have a focused, enlightening, and luxurious retreat while listening to your preferred music through the headphones or earphones of your choice.
Features Balanced Output Design For Clean Power & Zero Interference
Cayin HA-3A features an RCA 22DE4 rectifier tube that provides clean power with minimal interference. It uses 6V6S output tubes driving proprietary transformers for both single-ended and balanced outputs. An additional phase by the secondary winding of the output transformer; creates a balanced output amplification. The amplifier is optimised for three impedance ranges: Low (8-64 Ohms), Medium (65-250 Ohms), and High (251-600 Ohms), ensuring compatibility with various headphones.
Embeds Hand-Matched Dual Driver Tubes & Output Tubes For Hi-Fi Performance
Cayin HA-3A features dual 12AU7/ECC82 Driver Tubes (Matched Pair) manufactured by JJ, alongside dual 6V6S Output Tubes. The 12AU7 tube offers lower gain compared to similar tubes, resulting in increased headroom and reduced distortion, making it ideal for headphone amplification. These tubes work together to deliver warm, detailed sound with excellent depth.
Fused With Linear Power Amplification & Tube Rolling Support
Cayin HA-3A features a 2-stage single-ended vacuum tube circuit with hand-matched 12AU7/ECC82 driver tubes and 6V6S output tubes. The circuit powers both single-ended and balanced headphone outputs through proprietary output transformers. The balanced output is achieved through the output transformer's secondary winding, which creates an alternate phase. The single-ended design uses matched pairs for flexible tube rolling options.
Exquisite Build Quality With Premium Components For Exceptional Performance
Cayin HA-3A features hand-wired circuitry by skilled craftsmen, with special attention to internal wiring. It incorporates high-efficiency power transformers with reinforced shielding to minimize interference and noise. For precise volume control, it uses a high-performance ALPS 50KA*2 dual unit smooth potentiometer offers durable, high-precision volume control.
Utilises Advance Design With Multiple I/O Options For Easy Pairing
Cayin HA-3A features a premium build with a 14-round manufacturing process, resulting in a high-gloss finish and durable construction. For connectivity, it offers multiple headphone outputs including 6.35mm Single-ended, 4.4mm Balanced, and 4-Pin XLR Balanced. Input options include balanced XLR and single-ended RCA. The amplifier includes practical features like shock-absorbing aluminum foot pads, a protective tube shielding cage, and a thoughtfully designed front panel with a power switch, output selector, impedance selector, VU meters, input selector and volume control.
