Nirvana IV Headphone Amp

• Stylish, full sized headphone amplifier, designed in a single-ended technology with a 6,5W pure class A per channel
• Enables driving wide range of headphones, from easy driving dynamics to planar magnetic ones
• Usage of iconic EL34 tubes, known for deep and tight bass, sweet mids and extended and detailed highs
• Robust and durable wood-and-leather-chassis protects against vibrations

The Auris Nirvana IV is one of those amps that performs great with every single pair of headphones you throw at it, from the easiest driving – dynamic to the hardest, planar magnetic, and the other way round. The range of supported headphone impedances is huge – from 32 to 600 Ohms. Apart from the fact that it’s maybe too powerful, there absolutely isn’t a single thing you don’t like about the amplifier. It looks stunning and the separate power supply gives it an extra classy look. The external PSU, which delivers the best possible constant power (no AC) to the amp section, is the safest choice when trying to achieve an audiophile performance.

SOUND

Nirvana proves that bass performance from headphones can match the quality and the number of bass-via-massive-woofers. No loss of detail, perfect clarity, precision and airiness with all the headphones plugged into it. In the matter of sound, Nirvana represents a blend of Auris Ha2 and Headonia amplifier, in the way that it takes the best of both. Balanced mode reveales many hidden layers of music and the reproduction becomes slightly more detailed.

It sounds like you’re in heaven with a dynamic, wide and very well-layered sound with a good amount of warmth and tube smoothness. Nirvana gets sound (and looks) just right and it simply is impossible not to like.
