The iBasso PB6 Macaw headphone amplifier is not limited to the tube mode only: the amplifier also offers a transistor mode in the AB class. As already mentioned, the tube mode uses an architecture of four vacuum tubes to produce rich and musical sound; the Class AB mode uses four BUF634A operational amplifiers for high-precision transistor amplification. Both modes have their own character and "taste", offering audiophiles different sound options.
