Audma BRIOSO PHPA1 Portable Headphone DAC/Amp
The Audma Brioso PHPA1 is an incredibly pocketable and powerful DAC/Amp that can output 4W at 64 ohms. Brioso's sound signature is a little north of neutral, focusing on organic body with a lively and energetic sound that is deep and wide. This little device creates a well-proportioned soundstage that, in our opinion, defeats most DAPs in the market while being a fraction of a DAP's size.
With different gain and voltage options, listeners can match anything from sensitive IEMs to difficult-to-drive headphones with a pitch-black background with no hum or noise. Yes, this can even drive a Susvara or Subtonic STORM well. It's a real technical marvel that somehow fits into a small metal case.
