Yamaha HA-L7A: A High-End Headphone Amplifier with DAC Module | Overview

The HA-L7A is Yamaha’s first high-end headphone amplifier that optimizes the amplifier technology that Yamaha has cultivated over many years with Hi-Fi components and AV receivers for headphone listening, with the goal of allowing users to deeply immerse themselves in a variety of content.

Yamaha, a renowned brand in the music industry, has recently launched its new high-end headphone amplifier, the Yamaha HA-L7A. This headphone amplifier is designed to deliver the ultimate sound quality and performance for audiophiles and music lovers, using an advanced technology called Orthodynamic® driver. The Yamaha HA-L7A headphone amplifier is the perfect companion for Yamaha’s flagship headphones, the YH-5000SE, which also use the Orthodynamic® driver.

The Yamaha HA-L7A headphone amplifier uses a special type of driver that is different from the conventional dynamic or balanced armature drivers. The Orthodynamic® driver consists of a thin-film diaphragm that is sandwiched between two magnets and driven by a coil. This design allows the diaphragm to move uniformly and accurately, producing sonic accuracy and ultra-responsive performance. The Orthodynamic® driver also enables faithful and authentic sound reproduction over the entire sonic spectrum, from the lowest bass to the highest treble, without altering the tonal quality.

The Yamaha HA-L7A headphone amplifier has a sleek and elegant design that matches the YH-5000SE headphones. It has a metal chassis and a wooden top panel that give it a sturdy and sophisticated appearance. It also has a large volume knob and a headphone jack on the front panel, as well as an input selector switch and a power switch on the back panel.

The Yamaha HA-L7A headphone amplifier also has a DAC module, with USB, digital coaxial and optical inputs on the back panel, alongside an RCA analogue input pair. Inside the DAC section lies a ESS 9038Pro DAC chip, which ensures compatibility with hi-res audio files up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD 11.2MHz1. The DAC module also supports MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) format, which delivers studio-quality sound in a smaller file size.

The Yamaha HA-L7A headphone amplifier is compatible with various headphones, including the YH-5000SE, YH-L700A, YH-E700A, YH-E500A, EP-E70A and other models from Yamaha’s wireless headphones and earphones line2. The headphone amplifier can also be used with other brands of headphones that have an impedance of 16 ohms or higher.

The Yamaha HA-L7A headphone amplifier is available for purchase now at Yamaha’s official website for $2,999.95 with free shipping. Users who purchase the headphone amplifier before January 27 will also get a free copy of Asgard’s Wrath 2, a VR action-adventure game set in Norse mythology.

The Yamaha HA-L7A headphone amplifier is a high-end headphone amplifier that offers the ultimate sound quality and performance for audiophiles and music lovers. With its advanced Orthodynamic® driver technology, high-quality DAC module, sleek and elegant design, and compatibility with various headphones, the Yamaha HA-L7A headphone amplifier provides a sound experience that is unparalleled in the world.
