Chord Electronics Chordette Toucan Headphone Amplifier - Silver

The terrific Toucan adds high definition headphone capability to your system...
...and allows the transfer of music from either an analogue music source or digitally streamed from a personal computer or laptop via the USB port.
Many hi-fi systems now omit the inclusion of a headphone output making private or discrete listening a problem. The Chordette Toucan can add this functionality back into any system conveniently, giving a true high quality headphone listening experience. It features both gold plated RCA phono inputs and true balanced XLR inputs for analogue sources and has two headphone jack sockets so two people can listen at the same time, hence the name Toucan meaning ‘two can listen’.
Having a USB port means the Toucan can be connected to a personal computer and will seamlessly appear as an audio device by the operating system. Music played on the computer will be digitally decoded and then converted to a hi-fi quality signal for playback.
The listening experience has been further enhanced by the addition of a cross-feed network filter. When selected, this will provide a spatial effect giving the feeling that the music has moved outside the head. This results in a more coherent soundstage and lifelike performance.
A manually operated solid aluminium volume control makes for precise and easy volume adjustment.
The Chordette Toucan adds advanced, fully adjustable headphone connectivity to both traditional and computer based hi-fi systems.
