Building on the legendary performance of the original HPA-1, Pass Labs is proud to introduce the HPA-1c—our most refined headphone amplifier yet.

Coming Soon

The HPA-1c is entering final production and will be available for order in the coming months. Stay tuned for debut pricing and introductory listening events at select Pass Labs dealers worldwide. Prepare to experience headphone amplification—and your music library—in a whole new light.

The HPA-1 headphone amplifier was designed ground-up to become what we believe is one of the very best sounding headphone amplifiers available today. With low feedback, wide bandwidth and a direct coupled MOSFET output stage, this musical instrument drives even the most difficult headphone loads with ease, power and grace. The HPA-1 also functions as a line-level preamplifier that sonically rivals much higher-priced competition. The measured performance is superb and the sound even better.
