Audeze EL-8 Headphones And Deckard 384kHz/32-bit DAC w/Headphone Amplifier
Audeze EL-8 Open And Closed-Back HeadphonesAudeze is at CES 2015 (South Hall 1 Booth 22018) introducing their new EL-8 open and closed-back headphones plus the Deckard DAC / headphone amplifier ($699 each). With industrial design by BMW Group DesignworksUSA, the EL-8 headphones is very flexible and portable without compromising sound quality. The EL-8 is a refined and contemporary addition that personifies modern luxury. Audeze's EL-8 uses a suspended headband and contoured ear pads that evenly distribute pressure and weight, which reduces long-term wearing fatigue and improves fit. The result ensures the headphone can be worn for hours in perfect comfort and relaxation, thus meeting the exacting standards of audio professionals and audiophiles alike. With fine wood accents and exceptional build quality, the lightweight EL-8 features advanced planar magnetic technology with the company's Fluxor magnetic technology and a Uniforce diaphragm material. The later was originally developed by NASA for lightweight electronics to withstand the rigors of space. Audeze reengineered this super strong material to work as a planar magnetic driver. Audeze says that the Audeze EL-8 "combines new magnetics science and space-age materials to deliver a stunning you-are-there sound experience. Audeze EL-8 headphones let you fall in love with your music all over again." Audeze's new Deckard DAC with headphone amplifier was also styled by BMW Group DesignworksUSA and is a powerhouse in a small, elegant package. The Class A circuitry in the Deckard drives Audeze, or any other headphones, extremely well. The internal 384kHz/32-bit DAC has front-panel switches for three gain settings and input (USB and Analog) as well as a smoothly-functioning volume control. The headphone output is standard 1/4" and the Deckard also functions as a line level preamplifier. You can simply add powered speakers to enjoy a home or desktop audio system. Meridian (Venetian 30-335) will also be featuring the Audeze EL-8 and LCD Collection headphones for personal audio demos of their MQA technology.
