Done perfectly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eDesigned by Orchard Audio in collaboration with Z Reviews, the Valencia is a fully-balanced headphone power amplifier that delivers up to 17W into 32Ω with inaudible noise and distortion. With a no-compromise Class AB architecture, the Valencia ditches distractions and keeps only what’s absolutely necessary. There’s no gain switch. No volume knob. No alternate inputs. Just uncolored, endgame power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for balanced systems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Valencia is a true balanced headphone power amplifier, built from the ground up to run balanced headphone systems. The input is via a single set of XLR connectors. The output is a single 4-pin XLR jack, with a 4.4mm Pentaconn adapter included. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeep your signal chain clean\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe signal path is stripped to the essentials. There’s no onboard volume control or gain stage—just one fixed 14dB gain, independently regulated for each channel.
