HiFiMAN Serenade no BT headphone amplifierHiFiMAN Serenade is a headphone amplifier and DAC that is designed to deliver audiophile-quality sound in any configuration. The device combines advanced technologies with a sleek design to deliver precise sound and versatile connectivity, making it ideal for professionals and discerning music enthusiasts alike.A wealth of connection optionsSerenade supports up to five different signal inputs: USB, coaxial, optical, analog and network. This gives the user complete freedom of choice of audio source, with signal change via a dedicated button on the front panel. In addition, the network input allows music to be streamed directly from NAS devices, significantly increasing the versatility of the equipment.Sophisticated output controlThe device offers three output modes: DAC, H-AMP and P-AMP. In DAC mode, the headphone output is muted, and a fixed-level analog signal is passed through XLR and RCA connectors. H-AMP mode activates the headphone outputs and allows volume control, while P-AMP allows the unit to be used as a preamplifier, increasing its functionality in more advanced audio systems.High output powerSerenade offers impressive amplifier power to support a wide range of headphones, from low-impedance 32 ohm models to more demanding 300 ohm designs. The balanced output reaches as much as 4,000 mW at 32 Ω, guaranteeing dynamic sound and excellent sound control regardless of the type of headphones connected.Class-A and precision designSerenade's Class-A amplifier technology delivers crystal-clear sound and a wide soundstage. Balanced 4-Pin XLR and 4.4mm outputs enable signal transmission with minimal distortion, allowing you to enjoy the full details of any song. The robust chassis and optimized design ensure the unit's stability and durability in any configuration.Intuitive interface and modern featuresThe device is equipped with a clear control panel with an easy-to-read display. INPUT and SELECT buttons allow you to quickly adjust settings, including screen brightness or audio source selection. Additional features will be available after a software update, making Serenade a future-proof device ready for new technological developments.Versatility for everyday useSerenade's chassis has been designed for efficient heat dissipation, allowing for prolonged use without fear of overheating. With a variety of output and input options, the unit integrates seamlessly into a variety of audio systems, from classic Hi-Fi setups to more advanced multi-source setups.Precise outputs and flexibilityThe RCA and XLR outputs offer a fixed or variable analog signal, depending on the selected mode of operation. This allows Serenade to act not only as a headphone amplifier, but also as a preamplifier in larger audio systems. This solution provides full flexibility and customization.Excellent sound reproductionThe device features excellent acoustic performance, including a frequency response of 20 Hz - 20 kHz with a deviation of only ±0.1 dB and harmonic distortion of 0.0015%. As a result, any song played with the Serenade sounds natural and detailed, regardless of the musical genre.Included Serenade DAC/Amp x1 Power cable x1 USB-B cable x1 Manufacturer HiFiMAN Model Serenade - no BT Frequency response 20Hz-20KHz, ±0.1dB@1KHz THD+N: 0.0015%, -3dBFS@1KHz Signal-to-noise ratio -110dB, 0dBFS@1KHz Channel separation -120dB, 0dBFS@1KHz DAC output level 4.5V/XLR, 2.2V/RCA, 0dBFS@1KHz Headphone amplifier output power THD+N
