Orchard Audio Valencia Headphone Amplifier Can Also Work With Speakers
21.02.2025 10:58 | ~1 minute read
American company Orchard Audio has introduced a new headphone amplifier Valencia. The new product is made in a balanced circuit design and operates in class A/B. The Valencia project is also the first result of Leo Ayzenshtat’s collaboration with experienced headphone reviewer Steven Ciofalo.
Orchard Audio Valencia features a fully balanced circuit from input to output. The amplifier is equipped with independent linear power supplies for each channel. The amplifier circuit also minimizes noise and distortion due to the simplicity of the signal path.
The Orchard Audio Valencia headphone amplifier is available in anodized black or natural aluminum. The gain of 14 dB with a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 134 dB for an output power of 17 watts per channel when working into a 32 ohm load seems quite impressive. The model is also capable of driving not only headphones but also high-sensitivity speakers, delivering 2 x 7 watts into an 8 Ohm load.
You can now pre-order the Orchard Audio Valencia headphone amplifier on the manufacturer's website at a promo price of $1,599.95 instead of the expected suggested retail price of $1,999.95. Shipments will begin in late April 2025.
