Description

Features

Hymalaya LE R-2R DAC
The HIMALAYA LE is HiFiMAN’s affordable take on their in-house R2R DAC design, offering smooth, natural sound with true resistor-ladder architecture. Though it trades some technical refinement compared to the flagship HIMALAYA Pro, it retains the rich, analog-like character R2R is known for, making it an ideal choice for compact, high-performance systems like the Serenade Jr.

Legendary Amp
SERENADE Jr features the legendary FET operational amplifier, with a discrete component LPF analog circuit that translates into detailed sound with high-precision, low-noise test indicators.

The bold design of the entire signal path eliminates coupling capacitors, removing nonlinear distortion caused by electrolytic capacitors, leaving only pure, full range sonic output.

Class A Headphone Amp Circuitry
The SERENADE Jr amp circuit is based on a Class A design, supplemented by a precisely matched, fully discrete transistor amplifier circuit, so that the amp circuit inherits the noble tone of the HIFIMAN Prelude Amp, for less than $3,000.

Transformer: The Foundation of Full-Range Sound
The 50w toroidal transformer, surrounded by oxygen-free copper wire, is comprised of high-quality full-band iron core, combined with a large pond filter capacitor of nearly 30,000 microfarads and a multi-stage, multi-channel, low-noise, high-speed voltage regulator circuit, providing a pure and fast power supply.
