Audio Electronics Nighthawk Headphone Amplifier

Chris Martens has posted a review of the Audio Electronics Nighthawk headphone amplifier ($1195) at AVGuide. His conclusions:

“I regard the Nighthawk as a fine first effort from Cary’s new Audio Electronics division. It’s a product with many laudable strong points, though one that does face significant competition at or near its price point. Fans of clarity, purity, and neutrality will love this amp, while those seeking the elusive qualities of inner detail and three-dimensionality may find they want something more.

The good people at Cary Audio have told me that in the future there may well be a Cary-branded version of the Nighthawk, featuring hybrid tube/solid-state circuitry. Based on what I’ve heard of the Nighthawk thus far, I can’t wait to hear the Cary version.”
