Pre-order phase is over and now the wait for the highly-anticipated headphone amp from Holo Audio is finally shorter! Early adopters are already enjoying the music, as reviews have been coming and out and testify, Bliss is definitely a bliss for headphone users. The lush layerings with broad soundstage while ever sounding so musical – one no longer has a difficulty in choosing between a full tube or solid state set up to juice up the headpones – Bliss is the best of both worlds. Fully smooth on all edges of sound with such natural timbre and texture, yet micro details and finesse continue to resolve. One can easily find musciality in exuberant dynamics in Bliss. The enjoyment with Bliss listening cannot be overstated enough. It will be hardpressed to find many other competing headphone amp to be also an extremely efficient and capable preamp usable in speaker setup. 2-in-1 functionality instantly brought the value of Bliss significantly a few notches up.
Bring your headphones down to our shop and hear for yourself.
Measurements from Golden Sound

It’s a seriously high performer. Having this much power, whilst also being on par with the very quietest amps using nested feedback opamps etc, AND having this level of performance in a discrete Class A design, is kinda crazy.
Well done Jeff!
