Notable Headphone Amps on the Way from Monoprice in Late June

ALEX CAVALLI x MONOPRICE


A big get for Monoprice as they continue to push their Monolith series as something of a premium value, two new products co-branded with Alex Cavalli, with a late June 2018 release estimate.

For an affordable $100, they offer the “Monolith Liquid Spark Headphone Amplifier by Alex Cavalli”, PID 33304. These have RCA on the back, and with a headphone output on the front. In the “Answers” section, a Monoprice “Staff” person said when asked on “output impedance”:

“Less than 0.1 ohms and most likely less than 0.05 ohms”

The other new entry is starting at $700, it is the “Monolith Liquid Platinum Headphone Amplifier by Alex Cavalli” with PID 33305. It is a Balance version of the Cavalli Liquid Crimson. RCA and balanced connections on the back, and headphones outputs on the front.

These aren't just co-branded, they're legitimately designed by Alex Cavalli. He was showing the prototypes at shows prior to his retirement and has confirmed that these are his on Head-Fi.
