MK4 with newly developed IC
The HDA-5210mk3, which was developed with the aim of making headphones sound in the best possible quality, is a new model equipped with the mk4 circuit, which is a further evolution of the HDA-5210mk3. By adding the new HIBIKI-IC circuit to the SATRI-IC, the thickness of the sound and the amount of information and reality are increased compared to the MK3. It also rises quickly when you turn it on. It also has a high impedance current output. Driving the headphones with current results in less distortion and more precise reproduction compared to voltage drive. Headphones are often less undulating in impedance frequency response, and when those headphones are used with a current output, it is possible to hear a lot of information that is not available with a voltage drive.

The HDA-5210mk4 has a SATRI-LINK current input for use with Bakoon preamps and D/A converters. In addition, a single voltage input can be used in combination with preamplifiers and D/A converters from other companies to achieve good results. The amplifier's gain is controlled by a 23-step attenuator, which can be continuously variable up to 20db. Unlike a normal volume control, there is no degradation of S/N even when the volume is lowered.

The voltage output adapts to headphones with an impedance of up to approximately 100ohms. The current output drives the headphones with a very high impedance, so there is little sound distortion, and the frequency response varies with the impedance curve of the headphone, so it adapts to almost any headphone. The current output gain can be changed with the CURRENT GAIN switch to match the headphones. And also, the current output and the voltage output can be used simultaneously. In that case, the output current of the current output will be the current flowing in the headphones connected to the voltage output. So, the output current of the current output reflects the personality of the headphones connected to the voltage output. Therefore, the sound varies depending on the headphones connected to the voltage output.

The previous model HDA-5210mk3 was a headphone amplifier with a very high reputation abroad. Very fast, dynamic and powerful bass, coupled with a sense of presence and a vast sound field, is a sound that sets it apart from a lot of headphone amplifiers. The resolution is incomparably higher and the live sound with depth is much more comfortable and less tiring to listen to for long periods of time.
