UNISON RESEARCH SH

Description

Unison Research’s unrivalled ability with Single-Ended valve designs is well known around the world. The SH is the company’s first headphone amplifier to benefit from such extensive knowledge and ability.
The SH uses a Single-Ended Class A design with only two stages and a passive volume control. The classic refinement of the valves combines with modern technology found in the internal USB DAC to produce something truly stunning.

USB DAC SPECIFICATION
Asynchronous USB interface compliant to USB 2.0 Audio Class
