Beyerdynamic A200p Portable Mobile DAC Headphone Amp
Developed with Astell & Kern, beyerdynamic’s German made A 200 p is going to be your next best friend (besides your headphones) on that long transcontinental flight.
High quality headphones often need better and more powerful sound source, just like a faster car has a bigger engine and desires higher octane fuel. If you no longer sport the complimentary earphones that came with your smart phone or music devices and are already using or considering a better sounding headphones or earphones, consider the A 200 p.
Transforming digital sound data to a connected player often leads to a loss of music quality. Many top headphones cannot be used to their full potential with mobile devices. The A 200 p from beyerdynamic is a solution to this problem. It meets demanding audio requirements and provides you with significantly improved sound on-the-go.
The A 200 p circumvents the internal signal processing of the connected player and receives the pure digital music data first. After converting the digital data to analogue music signals, a high-quality amplifier controls the output to the connected headphones. All of this results in a level of audio quality that was previously not possible for travelling audiophiles.
Previously unheard details, better contoured and deeper bass, as well as natural instrument and vocal reproduction transform standard portable sound into a true hi-fi experience.
With dimensions of 55 x 55 x 13 mm, the A 200 p is extremely compact and lightweight. It fits easily in your pocket and can be stored together in your headphones carrying case.
The integrated battery provides you with up to 11 hours of uninterrupted listening pleasure; enough even for long-haul flights.
In addition, the A 200 p also makes it easier for you to control playback using its buttons for play/pause, as well as for skipping between tracks. You can easily adjust the volume using the large aluminium volume knob with locking function.
Furthermore, the A 200 p comes with a leather case that you can use to attach the amplifier to your belt or directly to your smartphone.
The A 200 p works with a number of mobile playback devices such as the iPhone, iPod, iPad via Lightning connector, Android smartphones or tablets provided with digital USB audio output with Android 4.1 or higher via Micro-USB, as well as Mac and Windows computer via USB (please refer to the compatibility list below or under “downloads”). The A 200 p is currently the smallest mobile DAC and amplifier that can work with all of these devices on the digital level.
