Arcam rPAC headphone Amp. Compact, asynchronous USB and DAC 24 bits / 192 kHz


Perfect condition, without the box. Nice little headphone amplifier, extremely musical: sounds spacious, detailed and refined, in my opinion better than the ifi zen dac. Would consider shipping internationally but please, ask for a quote as the postage differs from country to country and the amount in the description is for European Union only, thanks.


"Play the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Can’t Stop and the impression of depth and spaciousness around vocals and instruments is excellent. The transparency on offer makes for a detailed and insightful sound. There’s a sense of immediacy and snap to each snare-drum thwack, with the rPAC delivering plenty of weight although some may find the presentation a touch too smooth."


" In terms of audio performance, the Arcam rPAC develops a sound of great elegance. Listening is always pleasantly balanced without being flattering or colourful. By listening to certain passages of classical music, my favorite domain of this Dac, music lovers will be thrilled with the coherence of the timbres, as with the homogeneity of the entire bandwidth with a rather unique 'respect for timbres' aspect. Even if some other models in this guide display a more energetic dynamic, the feeling of presence and the truth of the timbres are the major assets of this Arcam rPAC. So modern music lovers who only listen to this will tend to go for another model. But for us, its natural qualities win out with a silky high-end sound and incredible presence. "
