The compact, robust and beautifully built <em>rHead<\/em> encompasses true linear Class\u00a0A design, resulting in absolutely no crossover distortion to ofer the purest sound. The layout has been optimized as well as areas like multiple ultra-low noise power supplies and a fully direct coupled signal path have been reviewed thus making a big difference &#8211;\u00a0proof of the extensive care and attention brought to the product by the manufacturer. The volume control is an ultra-linear analog resistive ladder device, as used in <strong>Arcam<\/strong>\u2019s flagship <em>A49<\/em> integrated amplifier, eliminating tracking errors often found in normal potentiometer-based volume controls.<\/p>\n<p>Comprehensive protection systems prevent damage to the <em>rHead<\/em> while not interfering in any way with the ultimate reproduction of the sound. The <em>rHead<\/em> sounds amazingly natural and completely engaging, and reveals the true character of any music that\u2019s played through it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tedpublications.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/arcam_rHead_rear_ang.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19142\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tedpublications.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/arcam_rHead_rear_ang-647x223.jpg\" alt=\"arcam_rHead_rear_ang\" width=\"647\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tedpublications.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/arcam_rHead_rear_ang-647x223.jpg 647w, https:\/\/www.tedpublications.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/arcam_rHead_rear_ang-768x265.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tedpublications.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/arcam_rHead_rear_ang-1024x354.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tedpublications.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/arcam_rHead_rear_ang-295x102.jpg 295w, https:\/\/www.tedpublications.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/arcam_rHead_rear_ang-290x100.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.tedpublications.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/arcam_rHead_rear_ang-300x104.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tedpublications.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/arcam_rHead_rear_ang.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 647px) 100vw, 647px\" \/><\/a>The <em>rHead<\/em> is more than capable of driving the most demanding of headphones.
