Gold Note HP-5.2
Gold Note has introduced the HP-5.2, a new high-end headphone amplifier that joins the Italian manufacturer's Series 5.2 lineup. The model is aimed at listeners who want a serious desktop or system-based headphone amplifier, but also expect a level of flexibility that goes beyond a conventional analog amp. In typical Gold Note fashion, the HP-5.2 combines a technically ambitious circuit with a relatively compact chassis, a touchscreen interface and a set of sound-shaping tools designed to work in the analog domain rather than through digital signal processing.
