It seems that headphone amplifiers are all the rage, along with a renewed interest in headphones, as the release of the stunning Sennheiser HD800s and the surprising B&W P5’s attests.
Given that they were one of the pioneers of the category it is no surprise that Musical Fidelity is still considered to be the market leader. They are also about to consolidate this position with the re-release of the X-CANv8p.
This is a high quality, single ended, Class A triode headphone amplifier with ultra-low output impedance, capable of effortlessly driving any headphone. It has two headphone sockets, a normal line input plus a USB input. It also features a line-output so it can also be used as a single-ended Class A triode pre-amp.
Always considered to offer great value at $999 – the X-CANv8p has been re-released at $699.
Stock is available now, but quantities are limited.

Dear Adam,
Please accept our apologies – you are correct, the price should have been $699. For some reason our accounting package shows $799 – although I don’t recall them ever being this price – which is where the salesman took the price from. You may gain some solace from the fact that this has also highlighted a couple of other customers where the same mistake has been made.
There will be a cheque in today’s mail for you (and to the others affected).
Once again our apologies for the mistake.
Regards, Len
