I found this definition on the website of Radius Power:
Despite the fact that the headphone amplifier really sounded very good (it’s incredibly fast making my headphones sound more like electrostatic headphones), I wasn’t really happy with the measurements I made with the QA401 Audio Analyser.
After the successful prototype around the TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier I wanted to build something that could easily be used day by day on your desktop or next to your listening seat. I.e. having a nice enclosure, preferably with a build in power supply (I hate those wall-warts). Hence a take 2 of the design where I also took the opportunity to try out some new things.
Since I was so impressed with the performance of the TPA6120A2 I decided to build a more finished product which you can find in a later blog post TPA6120A2 based headphone amplifier - Take 2
