HPA-2 Headphone Amp Kit (High quality & High-end components)

[kawo]

Interested in buying the HPA-2 headphone amp kit can be found in ebay.com
HPA-2 could change the structure of the operational amplifier freely when the most of the pin which equivalent to 5534 can be used on the board. You could make changes to your own preference. To further experience the charm of HPA-2, it is recommended to use SONY PS-3 playback and high-class headphone, such as SONY MDR7506,MDR-7509,MDR-7510, MDR-7520, etc. For high-end use, Adam ProAudio product is recommended. You might be pleasantly surprised with this clever little high-end gadget. High-end components make HPA-2. WSC-1 is used to control the direction of audio signal routing. This resistance is only common in the high-end Hi-Fi, such as Jeff Rowland, Mark Levinson, etc. This resistance is short of low class device, even a headphone amplifier. Moreover, the HPA-2 collects more high-end components, such as Vishay RN55D, CMF55D, UXB 0207, MMB 0207, Precision Resistive GP1/4, Toshiba 2SA1930, 2SC5171, Neutrik NRJ6HM-1 jack socket,etc.

Care to share the schematic with us? DIY'ers tend to like that .
It looks interesting, but you will need to share more details, such as power supply requirements etc..

 

[tornislv]

Found your kit on eBay. Howewer without schematics it's a No Go. PCB and components seems OK, I do not intend to start discussion here about are they genuine etc etc. Please provide the schematic and I would possibly buy one set.

Thankyou^^,
I later post circuit, HPA-2 circuit is simple and general, it is characterized in part of resistance in the audio circuit is very important, if with the PS3 play SACD, using MDR7506 obtained very good sound, the HPA-2 using the 18V-0-18V AC.

without schematic you wont get much interest here. also i think you have a different idea of what is high end

 

[Ryssen]

Yes. a schema would be..nice.

Is it class A? Do the output transistors get hot at idle?

 

[tornislv]

A quick reverse engineering based on photos published suggests the schematic may be smth like this:

 

[kawo]

Hi Ryssen
Yes,class A. At room temp. about 40℃

 

[kawo]

Hi tornislv
the schematic

 

[kawo]

Only one channel, its power is standard LM317 and LM337, 15V → 20V adj.

 

[tornislv]

Close enough

 

[Ryssen]

I only see 2 connections for the power,how is it possible to get possitive and negative DC from that?

What do you mean? The OP mentions a 18-0-18 transformer in an earlier post...

 

[Ryssen]

Yes thats strange,look at the picture beneeth the power switch theres a 2 pole
connection.

Is there a schema of the PSU too?

 

[kawo]

This package does not include transformers, 2 pole AC input via a switch on / off power .

 

[kawo]

Full set

 

[kawo]

If you are using large of case, wiring OK, S / N can be more than 95dbm or over 100

 

[Ryssen]

So the 2 pole is for 220v(Or 110v)
No schema?
How big trafo do you recomend?

 

[kawo]

Hi Ryssen
Thankyou!
220V or 110V is decision for Transformer , and 20VA+20VA was OK.
Have schema

I just reread your question, and realized what you were having a problem with. You typically only connect two wires from the secondary of a transformer and only one side needs to be switched, thus the single pole switch. The full wave bridge creates the ground for the amp circuit.
