Musical Fidelity V90-BHA Headphone amplifier

The V90-BHA's combination of very low distortion, extremely low noise, flat frequency response and low output impedance provides smooth, effortless sound quality normally reserved for much more expensive products. The V90-BHA is also designed to work effectively as a dual-mono amplifier in balanced mode, minimising interference between channels and maximising stereo separation.
The V90-BHA features some of Musical Fidelity's finest electronics, in a small package that looks great, with a front panel and lid of custom extrusions finished in finely textured moonstone.

Musical Fidelity is the first headphone manufacturer to bring the sound quality benefits of balanced audio to the consumer headphone market. With the launch of the V90-BHA headphone amplifier and its partner MF-200B headphones, balanced audio technology is no longer just for esoteric products.

The benefits of a balanced connection have long been known in the pro audio industry, where great efforts are made to minimise noise and interference in the audio chain, especially with low-level signals.

By using balanced connections instead of single-ended audio, RF interference on the audio signal is effectively cancelled, resulting in an exceptionally low noise level and a much more accurate sound.

The V90-BHA offers high input impedance and low output impedance, allowing connection to most sources and easily driving the vast majority of headphones (from 10 ohms to 600 ohms).

Distortion is very low, typically less than 0.005% across the entire audio band. The V90-BHA also delivers an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of better than 109 dB ('A'-weighted). The frequency response is 20 Hz to 80 kHz (-1dB).

The inputs include both balanced XLR and single-ended RCA, while the outputs include a dedicated four-pin balanced mini XLR connector and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, making the V90-BHA a very versatile headphone amplifier.
