Description
Focal Arche headphone amp/DAC with rest for headphones (headphones not included)
Made in France, Arche is an electronic solution that combines a digital-to-analog converter with two pure Class A amplification modes dedicated to headphones. Forming an ideal bridge between the various digital sources and your equipment, Arche allows you to enjoy your audiophile headphones to the full, while taking advantage of the converter's performance to power a living-room hi-fi system!
Two separate amplifiers are built in which can be switched on the fly at the user’s discretion: Voltage (a pure current amplifier with lower impedance) and Hybrid (an integrated amplifier with higher impedance, featuring similar characteristics to a power amp).
Arche’s two balanced DAC chips can process formats in PCM format, 384kHz, as well as DSD 256 providing a versatile array of different playback options.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Focal high-end headphone range, Arche also features a dedicated profile for each Focal headphone model to ensure the best possible listening experience for users of Elegia, Stellia, Elear, Clear and Utopia.
