Ray Samuels introduces the new Intruder headphone amplifier and DAC combo

2012-09-29
hey guys how's it going we have ray Samuels here from Ray Samuel audio and he's gonna introduce one of his new products here at the Chicago hit by me hi there this is the newest amplifier and DAC combo that is gonna be released within two weeks hopefully to everybody and the nice thing about this particular end is that it has a higher gain than the sr-71 B which this one has a gain of 21 comparing to gain of 11 that sr-71 he has and the reason for that particular gain to be that high is that a lot of people use it with the iPod or they use it with the computer where the voltage swing for either iPod or computer is not high enough and when you use hard to drive headphones you find out that we maximize the volume and you don't get to the proper value of somebody one of us are really very high with the gain of 21 it satisfies a very loud listener people's including me and it can drive with that also the very hard to drive headphones which demand a lot of voltage swing like the HD six I use this combination the way it is right now which you have an iPod classics of course through the line out dock and it is right now in balance as you could see and I'm using it with a 300 mm HD 600 sanitizer and around 11 o'clock the volume is even high for myself you know but when I put the HD 6 I find out myself I'm around 2 o'clock at very very loud volume which it does really very well with that one of course this one at the same time just like the SR sexual be it has a face splitter circuitry that you can take the iPod output which is a single-ended and through the face splitter you get enough signal as a positive netting for left/right channels and run it through the for gain stages and for buffers and you get a balanced signal that you'll be listening to the iPod in balance at the same time using it with the computer you're listening also to your computer imbalanced through this particular amplifier which is of course called the intruder I'm hopefully that people when they listen to this one they're gonna really enjoy a lot of things features about this one the the gain of course you have independent games for left or right channel which are right in the front of the panel and you have a gain of 2 for in-ear monitors just like I said you won't be the end of 6 just like a star center will be for low impedance and even high impedance headphone and of course the only thing differs from SR security as we said is the high gain which this one is a 21 compared to 11 or mice are set you want a diamond V I'm sorry in the back of course you do have a USB you have two switches that you flip them up in the USB when it is in USB mode the tiny little switch which is over here which chooses between single-ended and the balance gate is is by pasture when you use a USB once you flip these two switches down into the audio input or signal input then this switches becomes involved in the circuitry then you can choose either single edit on the left on the when you're looking at the camera it's gonna be on the right or the balanced on the on the left side right now we're listening because it's single edit switch should be in the single ended and this way the the two USB switches are gonna be down so because we're getting a signal out of the iPod other than that we're using four batteries in here which in balance mode you're getting close to 32 volts of voltage swing which is really really high for a portable amps and this is enough to deliver almost one amp of current at that kind of voltage to any headphones which can satisfy any hard to drive headphones that's that should be about it as what's involved in this particular end and how it operates
