GS-X mini Balanced

The HeadAmp GS-X Mini is a compact desktop solid-state headphone amplifier with a Class-A circuit derived from the GS-X mk2 and based on Kevin Gilmore’s dual-differential topology. It provides balanced headphone drive from both single-ended and balanced sources, with up to 6 W output through its 4-pin XLR connection and separate single-ended 1/4-inch output. The amplifier includes low- and high-gain settings, RCA and 3-pin XLR inputs, RCA and XLR preamp outputs, and a preamp switch that enables the preamp outputs while muting the headphones.
