Done perfectly. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Orchard Audio Valencia MG is a fully-balanced headphone power amplifier designed for high output power, low noise, and precise control across headphones from 16 ohms to 600 ohms. Its massively parallel high-current Class-AB architecture delivers up to 17 W into 32 ohms, while the updated MG version adds modifiable 14 dB and 0 dB gain settings to better accommodate headphones with different sensitivities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for balanced systems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Valencia MG uses a proprietary fully-balanced signal path from input to output. Balanced XLR inputs connect it to compatible DACs and preamplifiers while helping maintain signal integrity through the amplification stage. An RCA-to-XLR converter can be used when connecting an unbalanced source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain matched to your headphones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MG version allows the amplifier gain to be configured for either 14 dB or 0 dB. The 14 dB setting provides additional gain for lower-sensitivity headphones, while the 0 dB setting is suited to high-sensitivity headphones that do not require as much voltage gain. Valencia MG can also be ordered with the preferred gain setting preconfigured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal volume control required\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Valencia MG is strictly a power amplifier and does not include onboard volume control. Output level must be managed by a connected DAC, preamplifier, or another source with variable output. This keeps the amplifier focused on amplification while allowing volume control to remain elsewhere in the signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-current Class-AB power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMassively parallel high-current Class-AB buffers provide substantial output capability for demanding headphones. Valencia MG delivers 17 W into 32 ohms and 3.24 W into 150 ohms, with up to 1.2 A of peak current.
