    Hi all, Zombie-X here again with another review for the good boys and girls of Head-Fi.org. Uptoday I have the SPL Auditor, one of SPL's own high end headphone amplifiers that is intended forstudio use. I've had this amp for about 6 months and it's quite impressive. Truly it's sound is highend. But you want to more, don't you?

    I would love to give a big thanks to both Robert at Aphrodite Cu29, and all the employee's at FrontEnd Audio for supplying the SPL Auditor as well as information and guidance. These guys are reallyhelpful and have a lot of insight into the unit's. I'd also like to give a shout out to SPL for supplyingme with more information as well as granting me the use of images in this thread.

    During this review I will be comparing to my other amps: Audio-GD ROC, Woo Audio WA3+(modded), and the Musical Fidelity X-CANV8P. Each amp will be compared quite extensively and willbe tested with a wide variety of headphones. The Audio-GD ROC and SPL Auditor will utilize the XLRoutput from my Violectric DAC V800while the WA3+ and X-CANV8P will be feed by the RCA Outputfrom the DAC V800. The RCA output will be using Audioquest RCA splitters and the XLR output willbe going through the SPL Auditor to the Audio-GD ROC.

    SPL, or Sound Performance Lab, is a leading manufacturer of studio gear based out of Germany. Alltheir equipment runs on their famous 120V technology. They manufacture lots a gear ranging fromequalizers to headphoneamps, even software plug-ins. All of their gear is high end and is for studiouse, but does not seem to exhibit the typical studio sound, that being the music is dull, lifeless, andclinical. In fact from the gear I have tried their stuff is pretty natural sounding.

    Auditor HeadphoneMonitoring AmplifierThe Auditor is our interpretation of a high-end headphone amplifier. We strictly followed apurist approach to achieve the highest sound quality.

    The basis for such high-end developments is our proved 120 volts reference technology. Coreelements are the handmade SPL SUPRA op-amps running on 120 volts it corresponds toapproximately twice that of most modern analog audio semiconductor technologies. Throughsuch 120 volts circuitry and processing we reach performance levels far beyond conventionaldesigns in dynamic range and distortion levels, and such technical specifications exceed allknown analog or digital standards. In other words: simply sounds.

    Why Headphones?There is more than meets the eye in working with headphones. For example the modern audioproduction is often a decentralized process, maybe recording and track laying in one studioand mixing in another and as a result a production often take place in acousticallyquestionable rooms. In such circumstances, a mix might occur in an acoustically deficientambiance (for example, in an extremely modal room), and employing headphones then beginsto make sense when a successful mix would otherwise turn out to be impossible. Another factis that many musicians or producers might wish to or be able to mix at home (to saynothing of having to). Then the headphone becomes a clear must, enabling an evening or latenight session that can only take place thanks to its being unhindered by the local acoustic

    environment.

    Acoustic MagnifierBut also when working with full range monitors in the studio, headphone monitoring is anextremely important alternative to loudspeaker monitoring: analytical monitoring viaheadphones offers a very high precision to observe details. Headphone monitoring is likeworking with an acoustic magnifier, excluding external room influences. Working with themagnifier effect of headphones has the advantage of safely hearing clicks or similar defectsand helps in fine tuning crossfades or to judge tonal problems in individual tracks.

    The End of Ear FatigueWith headphones, ear fatigue can begin relatively soon, and there are several causes. First,some cans themselves may not be that comfortable to wear...

    Moreover, a standard headphone amplifier is often an additional important reason forpremature ear fatigue. Almost without exception, present-day headphone amplifiers employcomparatively undemanding ICs. In the best cases they might work with symmetrical voltages

    of +/-15 V to +/-18 V, and in less favorable cases, with only a simple supply of 9 or 12 Vfrom cheaper external wall-wart power supplies. But the voltage level acts in circuitry muchlike the cubic inch capacity to the productive power of a combustion engine: Cubic inchcapacity is replaceable with nothing but more cubic inch capacity and in the productivepower of electronics, voltage level functions similarly.

    For some years, now, SPL has addressed this issue in all of its mastering product seriesthrough its own specifically developed 120 volt technology. Consoles and signal processors ofthe SPL Mastering Series appear as central elements in installations of todays most renownedmastering houses (e. g. Bob Ludwigs Gateway Mastering & DVD in the USA, SimonHeyworths Super Audio Mastering in Great Britain or the Galaxy Studios in Belgium). This 120volt technology is based on discrete operation amplifiers from SPLs own production, developedand perfected over many years by SPLs co-founder and chief developer, Wolfgang Neumann.The SUPRA OPs have a signal to noise ratio of 116 dB and offer a 34 dB headroom thatyields an unequalled 150 dB dynamic range.

    The musical result is not to be mistaken: Regardless of the monitoring means, regardless of

    how loud you monitor the Auditor always remains a distant, impartial factor unaffected whenused to capacity and beyond being overloaded. The phase stability is always perfect, its THDnext to immeasurable. The SUPRA OPs cannot be stressed in the most stressful circumstances,and for precisely this reason its musical sound is always relaxed and spacious. All frequenciesare reproduced in balance, basses are stable and tight, mids are clear and differentiated andhighs remain transparent and soft.

    Such supreme and heretofore unreachable neutrality in audio reproduction is the directconsequence of our technical approach and basis in 120 volt technology: Possible disturbancesfrom such as noise or distortion are so slight that we even arrive at the boundaries of the bestmeasuring equipment, and what remains is quite simply unaltered musical sound.

    After getting this amp from Front End Audio, I noticed the size of the box itself. It's quite bigactually! The amp is housed in a specially designed box, and you have to open it up a certain way.In my anxiousness I just used a razor blade and sliced the box open. The amp itself is quite big anddespite it's size it's not that heavy at all. The finish of the amp is quite nice and the matte finishlooking striking to say the least. The Alps potentiometer is buttery smooth and feels "right" whenyou turn it. All the jacks in the back are of high quality and use Neutrik parts, notably the XLR inputs and outputs. The power switch on the back is also nice and had a good click to it when you flipthe unit on.

    When turning the unit on, have the volume all the way down and make sure no headphones areplugged in. When powering down the unit be sure to lower the volume and disconnect theheadphones before power down. Not doing so will result in no damage to the headphones or gear,but the amp will discharge residual voltages which will make the headphones "beep" a few times oruntil all the voltage has been discharged. Like I said this will not harm your gear at all but it's a niceprecaution in doing so. I always do this.

    The XLR outputs in the back are for a direct output, so a line level signal. They are independentfrom the volume control and are quite useful if you plan on daisy-chaining a couple amp or otherequipment together. You can also use RCA cables on this amp but they will require the use of anadapter. Using the RCA cables with give you have the voltage of a normal XLR cable so the volumewill have to e turned up more. I have tried it both ways and using RCA input will hinder this amp asit's designed for taking a balanced signal. I recommend a balanced DAC or other source if you planon suing this amp.

    You can also initiate a "Unity Gain" mode by turning the volume to 0. This will give you a non-attenuated signal, but you need another way of adjusting the volume earlier in the chain. Unity Gainmode will give you an unaltered signal and as such sounds a tad more full and slightly slower sound.It's a nice feature but is dependent on something else to adjust the volume before hand.

    This amp in a few words is neutral, transparent, and faithful. There is nothing added or subtractedfrom the sound at all. No treble spikes or dips in the treble. The typical studio sound, as describedearlier, is cold and analytical. Well you know what? If doesn't have any of those issues. It maybeultra transparent and very neutral, but despite those it is quite natural sounding. Also there is astigma that German gear tends to sound bright and thin and clearly this amp does not exhibit theseissues at all. The amp will only sound colored if the source or DAC is colored. If your DAC is clinical,the amp will sound clinical. It really shows the flaws in anything higher in the chain. You can evenhear if your other gear is not up to snuff. Quite a nice feat and in my opinion the amp should be the

    last thing in the chain to color the sound.

    This amp has an output impedance of 9Ohms, and as such requires a headphone of 72Ohms ormore. This is usually the case but not this time it seems. I have tried numerous IEM's and portable,low impedance headphones and they did perform nicely. One thing I have noticed is that theimpedance mismatch causes the sound to become fuller sounding, but it's not bad in anyway. In factI like how this amp sounds with my Shure SRH-440 (with SRH-840 ear pads). It gives the Shuremore bass impact without sacraficing control. Typically the sound of a mismatch between ampimpedance and output impedance makes the sound muddy but I ahve not heard this with this ampas of yet.

    The amp itself is geared toward 600Ohm, which according to SPL, is the industry standard. As suchthe amp can output 1.7W into a 600Ohm load and can swing 120V. That's a huge voltage swing andthis amp can drive the 600Ohm beyer dynamics quite well. The 600Ohm Premium headphones aretypically quite hard to amp as they needed a much higher than normal voltage to get loud andretain control. I'm glad to say this amp drives them all quite well, no that's an understatement. Itdrives them effortlessly and perfectly. The DT990 needing a bit more power than the DT880 in order

    to retain control over the bass, and this amp delivers. The bass remains tight and punchy withoutsounding muddy or bloated. In fact this amp may be the best $1,000 choice for the 600Ohmbeyerdynamic models.

    The K501 sound exceptional from this amp. As many know, the K501 is quite hard to drive well as itis lower sensitivity and higher impedance. Safe to say this amp gets them loud and then some. Thevolume is only at a bit over 1/4 of the way up and the headphones are quite loud. It's not gain, butpure voltage that gets them there so fast. On my other amps the volume has to be almost half ofthe total volume the amps could do. The SPL Auditor really delivers the bass on this headphone aswell. When properly amped the K501 has quite a bit of bass, and it's deep, tight, and controlled. Thewhole sound opens up and the soundstage expands further.

    The K400 is even harder to amp than the K501 and this amp does not disappoint at all. It drives theK400 effortlessly and without fuss. The K400 requires a bit more power than it's K501 sibling, butthis amp handles it no problem. You immediately hear the bass is tight and punchy, the mids aredetailed, and the treble is extended and grain free. The soundstage opens more, same as with the

    K501. When the K400 is underamped it can sound anemic in the bass but when most bass heavy ofthe current AKG audiophile headphone line.

    TREBLE:The treble on this amp is very well extended and never bright or strident. Completely grain free andsmooth. The treble itself is quite clear and highly detailed. Out of my other amps this amp ampcertainly has the most refined treble an is the most detailed treble. Extension is quite high andalthough you can't quite hear that high, you can tell it's extended.

    MIDRANGE:The midrange is this amps strong point no doubt. It's easily better than my other amps in thisregard, and you don't even loose or sacrifice anything. The midrange itself is highly detailed andresolving. I can hear stuff in the mids that I have yet to hear before. Examples would be coughingin the background of tracks, light breathing, or someone else talking in the background. Guitar's aremore, what's the word, distinct. You can clearly hear how complex some riffs are and even lighttapping of the fret board is easily heard.

    BASS:Bass, bass, and bass. The amp has some of the deepest and most controlled bass I have yet tohear. It reaches really deep and grabs you by the throat. Remember this amp is neutral, but thebass is so pure and can sound visceral. The texture and ability of resolved complex bass passages ofguitars is quite astounding to me. If your music is heavy on the bass, this amp will deliver it ingobs, but if light then it will give you light bass.

    SOUNDSTAGE:The soundstage is really good on this amp, yet again it has the biggest I have ever heard. Quiteeasily the most open of my headphone amps, though my ROC does come close. It's pretty threedimensional and has excellent depth, height, and width. Everything snaps into place when listeningto music and sounds coherent and distinguishable.

    VS. AUDIO-GD ROC:

    The SPL trumps the ROC in almost every way. The ROC itself is a warmer sounding solid state ampthat is toted as being a "wire with gain" amp by Audio-GD. For the most part they are right, but theamp is slightly warm with a slight emphasis on the mids and bass. The ROC falls short in terms oftransparency and micro detail. With the Auditor, small details like light footsteps and faint breathingcan be slightly masked. The amps itself is still quite good but is not as detailed and resolving as theAuditor. When comparing the two it's as if you are looking through a slightly tinted window with theROC, but with the Auditor it is like the window is open. The bass on the ROC is deep and tight witha slight bump to it and a little "roundness" in it.

    Another thing is how the ROC handles various loads. The ROC is optimized for 100-300Ohm loadsfrom it's power output chart, but it does a better job with low impedance headphones such as IEM's.The ROC has better control of these headphones due to it's lower output impedance. The SPL

    Auditor has a 9Ohm output impedance and as such has a lower damping factor which makes it moresuitable for higher impedance headphones of 80Ohms or more.

    VS. WOO AUDIO WA3+ (MODDED):

    These amps sound totally different. The SPL Auditor is dead neutral and transparent while the WooAudio WA3+ is really warm and generally has a more lush and smeared sound. Smeared may be abad word to use but what I mean is that the sound more or less blends together, aka smear. TheWA3+ is very musical and warm, but it loses detail and extension on both ends due to the tubes.The tubes hinder the treble a bit and cause it to roll off. Even when using the neutral 7236 tubetype the sound can still sound warm. It's just the nature of the amp. The amp also adds more bassto the mix and is a typical tube bass that sounds more rounded, aka full. The soundstage is stillquite good but the ability to pin point stuff in the stage can be difficult as tubes blend the sound abit. Besides that the soundstage is rather large.

    The WA3+ is OTL by nature and that means it has a high output impedance. The OTL design willgive you a higher voltage swing and the higher output impedance will make a good damping factorfor high impedance headphones. The WA3+ does not do all that good with low impedance gear as

    the output impedance in the ballpark of over 60Ohms, and the amp can't manage much currentoutput. The sound on low impedance headphones will sound mushy and bloated. In this case theSPL Auditor is a better choise, but still not ideal.

    VS. MUSICAL FIDELITY X-CANV8P:The X-CANV8P is one of the most versatile amps I have heard. It has an output impedance of lessthan 2Ohms, which means it can drive most headphone with a very linear sound. The sound of thisamp is warm and musical, no doubt it's from the tubes inside. The amp is a hybrid design, in whichthe sound passes through the tubes and then goes through a solid state output buffer to theheadphones. You get the tube sound and power of solid state. The amps also suffers from the tubesmear as described above in the WA3+ description.

    The amp also has a high damping factor and is good for low impedance gear. It fairs well withhigher impedance headphone like the HD600 but falls flat with the 600Ohm DT880 and DT990. Itsounds good with them but doesn't have enough voltage. With low impedance headphones this ampreally shines. It can power all my IEM's really well and give the Shure SE215-K a boost in bass

    control and definition. The T1 also sounds nice on this amp but it doesn't sound that dynamic andmore flat.

    The soundstage is good but not great. When using the stock power supply it's only good at best.When using the Little Pinkie V3i PSU from Rock Grotto the soundstage becomes much bigger andprecise. Still smaller than the SPL Auditors giant soundstage but still rather good.

    The SPL Auditor is darned good amp for the price of $999. It has one short coming and that's thehigh output impedance and ability to properly drive low impedance headphones effectively. Theydon't sound bad, but it's not ideal to have that high of an output impedance for low impedance

    headphones. If you are in the market for a solid state ampthat can drive your 600Ohm beyerseffectively and without fuss, then this is the amp for you. It drives them all incredibly well, evenperfectly I would say. It's easy for me to recommend this amp to anyone that has a 300Ohm-600Ohm headphone, especially if the 600Ohm headphone in question are DT770, DT880, or DT990.

    It is a really good amp man. I drives my T1 just perfectly. No complaints from my end at all.

    Good read Zombie... I think the key word with the SPL amp's is transparency, and I mean incredible transparency. You're probably right the Auditor

    may be the best $1,000 SS amp choice, but not only for the 600 ohm, The Auditor and the Phonitor drive the K702 like no other, well...maybe on thePhonitor this will be more easy because you have the DIM function.

    Here is more info from the Phonitor manual,

    Thanks for the review. Very nice read. I had the Auditor for about 3 months, and never regret the purchase. I agree with everything you said in the

    review, specially the transparency. Before getting the Auditor, I was afraid the Auditor-T1 combo would sound bright and thin, but that is not the case

    all. I really like this combo from the first moment I turned on the amp, and every day that I listen to it, I am still amazed at how it took the T1 to a

    new level.

    My current headphone setup: Ayre QB-9 --> Abbey Road cables XLR --> Auditor --> Beyerdynamic T1.

    Yes I have, using an adapter that is. It really doesn't sound much better than the single ended output on the amp though. I use my T1 balanced on my

    Audio-GD ROC and it sounds different than single ended. When balanced, the sound becomes clearer and "snappy". Like there's a sheen on it. The ROC

    and Auditor sound different.

    The Auditor:

    Dead neutral,

    Insanely transparentHyper detailed

    Huge open and precise soundstage.

    The ROC:

    Tad warmer and forgiving

    Added warmth stunts the transparency

    The sound is not as detailed and can blend together

    and the soundstage is about equal or a tad smaller and also not as pin point accurate

    Good review Zombie_X,

    I'm in the market for a second amp. I have what some others consider to be one of the best +/- $1000 amps to be had (GS-1w/ DACT). You say the

    auditor is insanely transparent, that is the exact reason for me buying the GS-1. It would have been nice if you could have compared the two. Now fo

    my second amp - it will be between the Auditor, Phonitor, V200 and a GS-X. I'm also looking at the EF-6. I do know the GS-1 demonstrates a lot if no

    I don't know how the GS-1 compares, but I've read many good things about it.

    A for the V200, Auditor, and Phonitor: The Auditor and Phonitor sound identical, the only difference is the crossfeed circuit that's built into the Phonitor

    They are a more transparent than the V200, but it's no slouch itself. It's still very transparent, but the smoothness of the sound and added bass seem t

    handicap it a bit. The SPL amps sure do sound incredible and so does the Violectric amps.

    I'll have both a Violectric V200 and V181 tomorrow in hand, thanks to Robert of Aphrodite Cu29, so I can post more impressions then comparing the

    Auditor and the Violectric amps.

    I have not heard the EF6, but I did hear the EF2 and in my honest opinion, it's overrated. It just didn't sound spectacular for the money.

    What is your relationship with Aphrodite Cu29? The last time you had the V200 for review, I asked for an audition, and the best they could offer was

    purchase price down, plus restocking fee.

    Well I bought the V200 from him and the V800 as well. He probably trusts me quite a bit I would guess. I think our relationship, as stated before, is bu

    on trust.

    Maybe I'll let you demo the V200 after I write the review. Would you be interested in that?
