Product details

Finally, enjoy high-quality music on your computer! Since 2004, the Black Cube Linear has been a headphone amplifier that meets the highest demands. Discerning clients such as WDR, the record labels Aeolus, TACET, and STS Digital, as well as manufacturers van den Hul and elysia, trust in its exceptional playback quality. In the most experienced mastering studio in the Netherlands, The Masters, a Black Cube Linear serves as the main monitoring preamplifier.

The Linear USB enhances the excellent sound characteristics of the Linear by integrating the computer world starting from USB 1.0. The device automatically detects an incoming USB audio data stream and selects the USB input accordingly.

Controlled bass reproduction, exemplary resolution, and absolute ease across the entire frequency spectrum come together through the Black Cube Linear USB to create an exhilarating listening experience. Carefully selected top-quality components and a sophisticated circuit design guarantee an exquisite auditory pleasure. Turning the solid, machined potentiometer knob is a sensual delight.

The discrete Class A transistor output stage without global negative feedback can drive two headphones of the same impedance simultaneously without any loss of sound quality. One of the two parallel headphone jacks disables the line output of the Black Cube Linear USB when in use.

For systems powered by an analog source and a computer with a USB connection, the Black Cube Linear USB is the simplest and most effective active preamplifier imaginable.
