Ferrum OOR Balanced Headphone Amplifier

Awarded Analog Amp

When our HYPSOS won an EISA award in 2021, we knew we were on the right track and went on to follow our dreams of delivering the best possible audio gear we could think of. When we learned OOR was chosen by the honorable EISA members as best Headphone Amplifier of 2022-2023, all our dreams came true. As did HYPSOS, OOR is a ground-up design without precedent, created from a profound exploration of analogue audio in its purest form. Understated looks married with sophisticated power delivery and amplifier technologies, delivering ultra-low distortion, huge dynamics and unrivaled detail. For those who want to go even further in unleashing unheard musicality, OOR is, of course, designed to pair perfectly with the HYPSOS Hybrid Power System.

Truly Balanced

The signal path stays truly balanced using the XLR inputs and becomes truly balanced using the RCA inputs.

Ferrum Power Link

OOR performs very, very good right out of the box. But OOR is made to excel above and beyond when used together with HYPSOS. We use what we dubbed our Ferrum Power Link (FPL in short) to connect the two. HYPSOS then will perform to its maximum, unleashing unheard musicality from the combination with OOR.

Enhanced Transparency

The whole design is focussed on a balanced and very transparent sound signature, making listening fatigue something of the past.

Ease of Use

Only three knobs on the front panel to control the most important settings.

Superior Control

Perfected steering of output transistors protect them and never let them turn off, therefore reducing distortion to inaudible levels and keeping them in a state where they can instantly unleash all their power, crucial for high dynamics, superlative control and authority in sound.

Discrete Design

The discrete power amp technology is developed in-house to achieve the best possible analog quality.

Unique Output Cable Design

Two wires delivering the power and two wires providing the feedback to ensure flat voltage at every moment. We named this technique Ferrum Power Link (FPL) and it eliminates the harmful effects of the cable's resistance effectively improving transient response. The current delivery speed at the powered device's input is significantly improved.

Select Power

OOR comes with a carefully selected DC power adapter. To get the most out of OOR you can connect it with HYPSOS using our proprietary Ferrum Power Link DC power cable. This FPL cable can be ordered separately.
