Built around a discrete PLFC+ amplifier circuit, a custom toroidal linear power supply, and a precision CNC-machined aluminum chassis, the H200 delivers powerful output, exceptionally low distortion, and flexible connectivity. Balanced and unbalanced inputs, selectable gain levels, balanced and single-ended headphone outputs, and dedicated preamp outputs make it equally comfortable driving headphones or serving as the centerpiece of an active speaker system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete Fully-Balanced Amplifier Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe H200 uses a fully-balanced discrete-component PLFC+ circuit instead of a conventional integrated amplifier solution. Carefully selected discrete components maintain a true balanced signal path from input to output, helping reduce common-mode interference while preserving dynamics, tonal texture, and low-level detail. Relay-controlled volume adjustment further improves channel consistency across the volume range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Output Power for a Wide Range of Headphones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith up to 5 watts into 32 ohms through the balanced output, the H200 provides ample power for everything from sensitive in-ear monitors to demanding planar magnetic and high-impedance dynamic headphones. Three selectable gain settings allow output to be matched to the connected headphones, reducing background noise with efficient models while maintaining the voltage swing required for more difficult loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLinear Power Supply with Custom Toroidal Transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA custom toroidal transformer and dedicated linear power supply separately feed the analog and digital sections to minimize interference. Carefully selected low-temperature-drift components help maintain consistent performance, while integrated DC, over-voltage, and over-current protection circuits safeguard both the amplifier and connected headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-Built Aluminum Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe H200 is machined from a single block of aluminum using one-piece CNC manufacturing. The rigid, gapless enclosure minimizes unwanted mechanical resonance while providing a clean industrial appearance. Measuring just 7.87 x 6.89 x 1.89 inches (200 x 175 x 47.9 mm), it occupies minimal desktop space without sacrificing connectivity or performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasured Low Noise and distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe amplifier achieves an exceptionally low THD+N of just 0.00007% with a measured 131 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 131 dB dynamic range. A wide frequency response extending from 20 Hz to 100 kHz (-0.5 dB) preserves the bandwidth of high-resolution recordings while maintaining excellent linearity across the audible spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Amplifier and Desktop Preamplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe H200 functions as both a dedicated headphone amplifier and a high-quality desktop preamplifier. Balanced XLR and RCA inputs allow connection to a variety of source components, while balanced XLR and RCA preamp outputs make it easy to integrate active speakers or a separate power amplifier into a desktop or two-channel audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor IPS display and intuitive controls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA tempered-glass-covered full-laminated IPS display presents input selection, gain status, operating mode, and volume with excellent clarity. The front panel combines the display with a precision-machined volume control and both 4.4mm balanced and 6.35mm single-ended headphone outputs for convenient everyday operation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SMSL Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54225759961456,"sku":"SMSL.H200","price":799.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9593\/8453\/files\/smsl-audio-h200-headphone-amplifier.jpg?v=1787723350","url":"https:\/\/addictedtoaudio.co.nz\/products\/smsl-audio-h200-headphone-amplifier","provider":"Addicted To Audio NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
