{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_i8cD5tdl","product_name":"Orchard Audio Valencia Balanced Headphone Power Amp","category":"Headphone Amp","description":"One job. Done perfectly.\nDesigned by Orchard Audio in collaboration with Z Reviews, the Valencia is a fully-balanced headphone power amplifier that delivers up to 17W into 32Ω with inaudible noise and distortion. With a no-compromise Class AB architecture, the Valencia ditches distractions and keeps only what’s absolutely necessary. There’s no gain switch. No volume knob. No alternate inputs. Just uncolored, endgame power.\nMade for balanced systems\nThe Valencia is a true balanced headphone power amplifier, built from the ground up to run balanced headphone systems. The input is via a single set of XLR connectors. The output is a single 4-pin XLR jack, with a 4.4mm Pentaconn adapter included. \nKeep your signal chain clean\nThe signal path is stripped to the essentials. There’s no onboard volume control or gain stage—just one fixed 14dB gain, independently regulated for each channel. That means you’ll need to manage volume with a DAC or preamp. \nDead-quiet background\nAt >134dB SNR and 118dB SINAD, the Valencia is among the cleanest amps ever made. Even sensitive IEMs will come through without hiss. The Valencia adds nothing: not warmth, not grain, not edge. Just power, passing through only the flavor of the equipment that comes before it.\nSpeaker taps included\nRear banana-style speaker taps make it easy to power high-efficiency passive speakers (≥95dB/W) in a small room. Just don’t plug in headphones at the same time—those taps are live.\nBuilt-in protection, worldwide ready\nThe rear of the unit features a hard power switch and supports a universal 90–264V AC input, making it travel-ready with only a new power cable. On the front, a soft off-white LED ring indicates power state.\nProduct highlights\n\nFully-balanced Class AB headphone power amplifier\n\n14dB fixed gain\n\n17W into 32Ω, 7.56W into 64Ω, 0.81W into 600Ω\n\n134dB SNR (A-weighted), 118dB SINAD\n\nIndependent linear regulators for each channel\n\nNeotech OCC internal wiring\n\nSpeaker taps for high-efficiency speaker use","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-orchard-audio-headphone-amp-orchard-audio-valencia-balanced-headphone-power-amp-1160553403.webp?v=1746210158","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-orchard-audio-headphone-amp-orchard-audio-valencia-balanced-headphone-power-amp-1160553405.webp?v=1746210164","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-orchard-audio-headphone-amp-orchard-audio-valencia-balanced-headphone-power-amp-1160553404.webp?v=1746210161","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-orchard-audio-headphone-amp-orchard-audio-valencia-balanced-headphone-power-amp-1160553407.webp?v=1746210170","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-orchard-audio-headphone-amp-orchard-audio-valencia-balanced-headphone-power-amp-1160553406.webp?v=1746210168","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2721/3642/files/apos-audio-orchard-audio-headphone-amp-orchard-audio-valencia-balanced-headphone-power-amp-1160553408.webp?v=1746210174"],"price":1999.95,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":19998,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-20T16:25:57.653Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_i8cD5tdl","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
