Hifiman EF600 Headphone Amplifier and DAC

Following the success of the EF400, HIFIMAN introduces the EF600, designed for audiophile-grade desktop performance.

Featuring HIFIMAN’s acclaimed Hymalaya Pro DAC module, the EF600 is designed for use as a pre-amp or completely independent amplifier. Its elegant industrial design in Bauhaus style makes it a welcome addition to the room, no matter where it is placed.

Hymalaya Pro

When compared to the More Common PCM1704U-K, the HYMALAYA PRO in the Winner Every Time! Hymalaya Pro uses the core technology found in the Hymalaya Max, with the added support of a new FPGA algorithm and 0.01% precision resistors. The sum total is performance that surpasses the PCM1704 in every way, reaching a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) rate of -60dB 2%.

Pre-amp Function with Balanced Input

EF600 includes RCA and XLR inputs so that in addition to its DAC function, it can be used as a headphone amplifier. The EF600 is compatible high-per- formance CD and SACD players, thanks to its balanced outputs.

High Resolution Bluetooth Wireless Audio

The upgraded QCC5124 Bluetooth design supports multiple Bluetooth codecs, including aptX-HD, delivering lossless sound quality for audiophile-level sonics.* Important: To maximize Bluetooth connectivity, do not place metallic objects near the rear of the EF600.

Tower Case Design

The EF600 chassis is newly designed with fine craftsmanship. A tower case enhances heat conduction for improved thermal stability. The chassis can even be used as a headphone stand, saving valuable space while giving the EF600 an attractive design aesthetic
