About the HeadAmp GS-X Mk2
The HeadAmp GS-X Mk2 is HeadAmp's flagship headphone amplifier and pre-amplifier, featuring a mature circuit design evolved over 15 years. It delivers up to 6 watts of pure Class-A power into balanced headphones, capable of driving the most demanding planar magnetic headphones while maintaining low noise for sensitive in-ear monitors. The amplifier includes a dual mono design with a separate power supply for ultra-quiet operation. It offers multiple inputs (1 balanced XLR, 2 single-ended RCA), outputs (balanced 4-pin XLR, dual single-ended 1/4" headphone jacks, 3-pin XLR balanced headphone outputs), and pre-amp outputs (XLR and RCA). The front panel features a 24-step DACT attenuator volume control, input selector switch, gain switch with low, medium, and high settings, and a pre-amp enable switch. The GS-X Mk2 also functions as a high-quality preamplifier for stereo speaker systems due to its high input impedance and low output impedance. It is handcrafted with matched components and undergoes extensive testing and burn-in to ensure top performance. The amplifier is praised for its transparency, linearity, and ability to reveal musical detail without adding grain or distortion. It weighs approximately 8 lbs and measures 14 x 9 x 2 inches for both amplifier and power supply units. The GS-X Mk2 is available in multiple finishes and comes with a 3-year warranty on parts and labor.
