Little Dot MK V "Dual-Mono" Headphone Amplifier
The Little Dot MK V is our top-of-the-line solid-state headphone amplifier in the Little Dot MK-series. A new "dual-mono" design essentially has dual power sources, dual rectification, dual filters, and dual voltage regulation powering two independent amplifiers, one for each channel! This allows for vastly improved channel separation, reduced cross-talk and minimal inter modulation distortion resulting in expanded sound-stage, imaging precision, and lower overall noise. The Little Dot MK V also provides two inputs so you can connect two sources, and conveniently switch between them via the front panel Input buttons.
The Little Dot MK V's sound performance is equal with it's vacuum tube-based brother, the Little Dot MK IV, albeit with different areas of strength and sonic characteristics. While the Little Dot MK IV has that unforgettable natural warmth, rich mid-range, and vast sound-stage vacuum tubes, the solid-state Little Dot MK V focuses on musical fidelity, full dynamic range, transparency, detail, thundering, impactful bass, as well the sound-stage and imaging ability afforded by the "Dual-Mono" circuit. For those who are perhaps disinclined to the maintenance and mystique of vacuum tubes, and just want exceptional performance without any upkeep, the Little Dot MK V is the headphone amplifier for you!

Dual Input Note: The Little Dot MK V's dual inputs are only designed to be a multiple-source system setup convenience, and not designed to be used as an A/B source comparator where both inputs are active at the same time.
Power Cord Note: Little Dot amplifiers ships with a standard Type-B power cord (American 3-pin or U-ground) suitable for use in areas such as North America, Japan, Taiwan, etc. If your country's outlets use other power cord types (ex. Schuko) you will need a power cord of your own plug type. You likely have several spares around your home, as any standard power cord (like your computer's power cord) will work perfectly fine. We do apologize for any inconvenience!
