Versatile and Dynamic!

The Cute Beyond is compatible with a wide range of source components. Use it with everything from your laptop to your high end CD player. For a transformational experience hook it up to your iPod, MP3 player or other portable device, you'll be astounded at the improvement in sound quality.

 

The Cute Beyond is optimized for a wide range of load impedances, and is suitable for headphones from 27 - 600 ohms

This high bandwidth, extreme low noise design (lower than -104db) yields greater than 104 dB of dynamic range and exceeds the capabilities of human hearing.

Two gain settings, selectable by a rear panel switch, allow for quick and easy optimization for high or low efficiency headphones.

To satisfy the tweakers among us the Cute features user changeable opamps and a Shunt/Series type input volume control to suit different tastes.

Built to Last
No cheap plastic here! The Cute BEYOND is manufactured with a solid aluminum chassis and features an anodized aluminum face plate in your choice of black or silver. The metal enclosure also protects the circuit from RFI and EMI interference.

The volume knob is machined from solid aluminum for a high quality look and feel.
