The Master of Some: SAEQ HSA-1C Headphone/Speaker Amplifier Review

Today is something rare and interesting. Ability to power both ribbon and standard headphones while also doing speakers, the SAEQ HSA-1C can power a large variety of devices. The question is does it do it well and worth its asking price?

Thanks to Jaben for the loaner set!

Hi, i have a crazy question. But you are probably the right guy who can answer 😅 i am a music producer and mixing / mastering engineer. I work in the studio everyday. What headphones would you recommend? I need the most details, the most accurate, the most transparent and clean sound. Analytical, precise, so i can hear all the instruments separately. Max price around 10.000$. But preferably around 5.000$. Please guide me, master. 💯🙏

Would you recommend this amp over the Broadway? I’m liking the pairing of the Broadway with the Hifiman HE1000s but not sure if it’s worth the extra cost.
