The Valencia is a headphone amplifier from Orchard Audio built for very high power output. The company's catalogue focuses on high-current, high-power amplification.

Key specs that matter

Maximum output is 15,120 mW per channel into 32 ohms and 9,680 mW into 50 ohms. Into higher impedances it still delivers 1,620 mW at 300 ohms and 810 mW at 600 ohms, both very high figures for the format. Gain is 14 dB, with a 134 dB signal-to-noise figure.

Engineering and use context

The chassis measures 241.5 x 235 x 76.2 mm and weighs 2.3 kg, a moderate size for a desktop headphone amplifier.

Pairing

The output reserves suit planar magnetic and other demanding, low-sensitivity headphones.
