Auris Audio Nirvana IV Tube Headphone Amplifier

If you are looking for a musical instrument to deliver the maximum performance or seeking and lusting for a product that will make you feel as if you are in heaven, look no further than the Auris Audio Nirvana!

Our Take

The Auris Audio Nirvana is one of those amps that performs great with every single headphone you throw at it, from the easiest efficient dynamic to the hardest, most inefficient planar magnetic. The range of supported headphone impedances is huge – from 32 to 600 Ohm. Apart from the fact that it’s maybe too powerful, there absolutely isn’t a single thing you won't like about the amplifier. The external PSU delivers the best possible constant power (no AC) to the amp section is the safest choice when trying to achieve an audiophile performance. 

Amplifier Layout and Design

On the front panel, you have the 4-pin XLR balanced output and the 6.3 mm single-ended headphone output, along with the two VU-meters, which will enhance your visual enjoyment. On the top of the unit you have the impedance selectors for the outputs, volume control and as well as the line-in selector switch.

Nirvana has 2 RCA Stereo Inputs and 1 pair of XLR Balanced inputs on the back, which allows you to connect to multiple music sources.

• Carefully selected and pre-tested tubes - should last for 10.000 hours. It is powered by the iconic EL34 by Electro Harmonix, a most common pentode found in British amplifiers. The drive tube is ECC82 by Tung- Sol, popular in the audio world as a low-noise tube for most popular amplifier circuits.
• Transformers - manually wound on double C core and manufactured in-house in compliance with strictly defined requirements. High-quality components such as branded Mundorf, Rubicon, and Wima. The PSU is made of aluminum chassis with a cord wrapped with proper strain relief.
• Two transformers on the top of the amp are noticeable, with glass protection for tubes with easily-accessible sockets on the top, and an input voltage selector for 110V/220V.

World Class Sound

No loss of details, perfect clarity, precision, and airiness with all headphones plugged into it. In the matter of sound, Nirvana represents a blend of the Auris Ha2 and Headonia amplifiers in the way that it takes the best of both. Balanced mode reveals many hidden layers of music, and the reproduction becomes slightly more detailed. Nirvana sounds like you’re in heaven with a wide, dynamic and well-layered sound with a good amount of warmth and tube smoothness. Nirvana sounds and looks just right and is simply impossible to like.

Bespoke Design

Nirvana has evolved into a robust and durable aluminum case. It is a piece of stylish design with an external power supply unit attached to the main amplifier via a high-quality 1m long umbilical cord.
