Pass Labs HPA-1

Pass Labs HPA-1 up for sale. This unit has less than 50 hours on it. I bought it new from Moon Audio in June 2018. As a first time dad I thought I'd be spending a lot of time with headphones so I invested in this and some Audeze phones. My kid sleeps right though music on my loudspeakers so I sold the phones. The amp is now available. It sounds amazing as a pre-amp as well. I ran my DAC and my Phono stage through it and connected the Pass to my Line Magnetic SET Integrated and it actually made my amp sound better - more refined, larger soundstage and tighter bass more open and extended highs.

Reviews support this:
“To put it bluntly, Pass Labs HPA-1 is an exceptional, very addictive headamp/preamp combo every aficionado should at least audition once an opportunity strikes.”
HiFi Knights

” If I did not know that the HPA-1 was transistor-based, I would’ve been fooled: the HPA-1 had the natural warmth and slight fullness that mimic tubes.” ” In my view, headphone listening is about intimacy, and the HPA-1 is nearly perfect in this regard.”

“As far as headphones go, the HPA-1 is a brilliant amp which deserves every bit of praise I’ve thus far heaped on it.”
