Description
Schiit Kara pre-amp and headphone amp Used
"In passive mode, the preamp naturally reflects the superb performance of the Audio Precision analyzer. Note that it will change the loading impedance so may impact performance of other devices connected to it. To avoid this, you want to use the active mode which still produces excellent performance.
I had high hopes that the same preamp would be driving the headphone output and in differential mode. Neither is the case. It seems a separate design is carrying that duty which can't keep up with the performance of the preamp, or frankly, Schiit's own headphone amplifiers when it comes to lower impedances.
On the basis of the performance of the pre-amp, I am going to give my recommendation to Schiit Kara."
