Test by Audio Science Review

I am going to recommend the Soncoz SGA1 on the strength of its its ability to drive high impedance headphones, nice looks, and perfect channel matching. If these match your criteria, you are good to go.

High end connectivity

The SGA1 is equipped with high quality connectors, capable of adapting to both balanced and unbalanced audio systems. Indeed, whether it is for input or output, we find balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA. The headphone output is on the front panel, balanced on XLR 4 pins or 4.4mm jack or unbalanced on 6.35mm jack.

A perfectly controlled power supply stage

The Soncoz SGA1 benefits from an optimized power supply stage, using high quality components. It includes a custom toroidal transformer with a multi-layer shielding. This one allows to reduce considerably the noise and the harmonics of the frequencies 50/60Hz.

Linear regulators have also been selected to provide a stable, noise-free power supply to all key circuits. The rectifier circuits use two large 8200µF ELNA capacitors to ensure ultra-low ripple.

SGA1 & SGD1, a perfect combination

The SGA1 has been designed to work perfectly with the Soncoz SGD1 symmetrical DAC. This set allows you to enjoy an audio system with incredible sound performance, while ensuring a coherent visual integration and design.
