Product Overview
Compact studio headphone amplifier with highest transmission quality for the connection of 2 headphones. The G103-S is optimized for lowest noise and lowest distortion. Its switchable gain makes the G103-S suitable for driving low to high impedance headphones (16 ... 600 ohms). The signal inputs are located on the back and are unbalanced via cinch sockets. The adjustment is made via a volume control on the front. Two headphone outputs with 1/4 "stereo jack.
Innderfidelity review
"So how does the thing sound? The first thing that struck me was the pitch black background. I'm not using that term in the sort of nebulous, audiophile way. I mean the background was literally silent, absent any hiss, hum, grit, or other undesirables. This was the case with everything---low impedance or high impedance cans, planar-magnetic headphones, and ultra-sensitive in ear monitors. The channel matching was very tight, with just a barely perceptible imbalance at ultra-quiet levels. Any real world listening gets well beyond that range.
From there, my listening notes focus on low frequency reproduction. This amp performs far better than the price would suggest. Using headphones with really good low frequency performance, I heard loads of texture and detail. It didn't come across as being emphasized at all, but due to the high amount of clarity it was something that my ear was drawn to. ..Mids were nice and clear as well---reasonably transparent and open sounding. I believe this is what people tend to refer to as "getting out of the way of the music", as cliche as that may be.
If one was on a fixed budget and really wanted to try a pair of planar headphones, I can't think of a better entry level amp to recommend."
