HeadAmp CFA3 Headphone Amp (Pre-Order Deposit)

Coming Soon!

Pre-ordering is now open for our upcoming flagship planar and dynamic amplifier! We are accepting pre-orders with a fully refundable $200 deposit. 

The HeadAmp CFA3 will be priced at $3995, and pre-orders will receive a 10% discount plus credit for the deposit paid.

The CFA3 Deluxe Edition adds a custom motorized volume control by Eksonic, with 200+ steps, a machined aluminum remote control, and dual mono 'Golden Reference' regulated power supplies. This edition will be $4995, minus the same 10% discount for pre-orders.

Pre-Orders will be able to choose either edition prior to shipping. Right now, we're shipping the first pre-orders for the standard CFA3, with the Deluxe Edition to follow at end of the summer. New pre-orders can expect their CFA3 amp to ship this fall or by end of year.

Once we finish shipping CFA3 pre-orders, the price will change from the deposit to the regular price without the pre-order discount.

Desktop Friendly - A Giant in Power, Not in Size

Unlike other designs of the CFA3, HeadAmp's version can easily be placed on a desktop due to it's compact size. Our CFA3 is designed to bring as much power as you'll ever need in a conveniently small footprint. Truly take advantage of the HIFIMAN Susvara's sound while working on your latest project or relax while effortlessly powering every detail of Focal's Utopia 2022 against a dead silent noise floor. There's no other dynamic/planar headphone amplifier out there like it!

What's Under the Hood

HeadAmp brings you the best sound by choosing the best components and testing our designs to the strictest standards. We started with the end in mind: the absolute best sound from the hardest to drive headphones.
