Product Description
These multi-purpose amplifiers are constructed using solid-state dual-mono amplifiers plus a single stereo headphone channel combined into one module allowing either pre-amp drive or headphone listening. ZAX Amps unleash the bass and fidelity held captive in your music and transform headphones into the instruments they were meant to be, significantly enriching your listening experience. The PreAmp and Speaker amplifier circuits feed separate right (ch1) and left (ch2) outputs for maintaining channel separation and optimizing the power to each secondary amp circuit. They are configured in differential bridged mode format eliminating the need for output coupling capacitors, maximizing power efficiency, and providing unattenuated full audio bandwidth. These high efficiency circuits make an excellent pre-amp servo for coupling portable audio devices to stationary amplification equipment. Additionally, due to the outstanding circuit efficiency, they can be used stand-alone to transform low power audio devices into systems capable of driving most full size speakers to a level of 85-90db SPL.Reviews
Great Little Unit, Great Customer ServiceLove the ZAX. This is exactly what I needed to pump up the output of my XM satellite radio and MP3 player before feeding into my car stereo system. This keeps me from having to crank the head unit all the way up (not a lot of power in my Blaupunkt).
Also, it's great to deal with a small company. I had some technical questions for their customer service folks and they e-mailed me back the same day each time (including New Year's Day). They even noticed that I had ordered a unit without the headphone jack option and e-mailed me before they shipped it to make sure that I didn't really mean to order the "combo" unit. They were right. Saved me (and them) a return and reorder. They still shipped the unit the same day I ordered it. www.digizoid.com.
Great Portable AmpI own three headphone amplifiers. All are excellent in their own way. One I use attached to my receiver, the other two are portable. The digizoid is easily the better portable amp. It only requires 2 AA batteries that last, seemingly forever. The only switch is an on/off switch - no volume control. Some think the lack of a volume control is an issue - I don't. This amp works great with my Grado SR-60 and Alessandro MS-1s. The sound just opened up with the addition of the amp to my Panasonic CD player and Iriver H320 mp3/ogg player.
