Cayin HA-6A | Desktop Tube Headphone Amplifier

Experience True Tube Sound

The Cayin HA-6A is a premium desktop tube headphone amplifier designed for audiophiles who value sonic purity, craftsmanship, and versatility. Built around a Class-A tube design, the HA-6A delivers a warm, natural sound with incredible depth and musicality. Whether you’re using sensitive in-ear monitors or demanding high-impedance headphones, this amplifier ensures an exceptional listening experience with unmatched clarity and control.

Dual Operation Mode: Triode & Ultralinear

Fine-tune your listening experience with two distinct sound signatures.

  • Triode Mode — Smooth, warm, and harmonically rich sound with lush imaging and refined musicality.

  • Ultralinear Mode — Enhanced dynamics and clarity, delivering authoritative bass, extended treble, and punchy mids.
    Switch effortlessly between the two modes to match your mood or music genre.

Built for Tube Rolling

Cayin designed the HA-6A for easy tube rolling, giving you full control over your sound signature. The included EHX EL34 tubes were carefully selected by Cayin’s engineers for their balanced performance. However, you can experiment with compatible tubes to explore new tonal possibilities. Combined with selectable impedance outputs (8–600Ω), this amp provides nearly infinite sound customization.

Incredible Craftsmanship & Hand-Wired Design

Each HA-6A is handcrafted with point-to-point wiring, ensuring the shortest and cleanest possible signal path. Unlike PCB-based builds, this traditional wiring technique enhances efficiency, conductivity, and reliability.
Cayin’s in-house designed power transformers are custom wound for optimal shielding and output consistency. The matched transformer pair enhances channel balance, reduces noise, and ensures stable performance across all frequencies.

Optimized Headphone Outputs

The Cayin HA-6A supports a wide variety of headphone connections:

  • 4-pin XLR – Provides maximum power for demanding full-size headphones.

  • 4.4mm Balanced Output – Ideal for high-end IEMs and sensitive headphones.

  • 6.35mm Standard Output – Offers versatile compatibility for most audiophile setups.
    With impedance matching options (Low / Medium / High), you can tailor the amp’s output to your specific headphones for optimal performance.

Smart Tube Protection & Startup Circuit

A 60-second soft start delay protects your vacuum tubes and minimizes unwanted noise during the warm-up process. This ensures long tube life, stable current flow, and consistent sound performance from the moment you power on.
