Linear D
Headphone Amplifier
Streaming Preamplifier
Clarity, power and class
Since Lehmannaudio turned the ‘emergency exit’ of classic hi-fi amplifiers into
a gate to a new musical perception with their Linear back in 2004, headphone
outputs with frustrating sound have become a thing of the past. The Linear D in
its topical mk II version demonstrates that there’s always room for improvement:
its digital-analogue converter of the latest generation and its thoroughly revised
analogue board let you experience all-new horizons when listening to your fa

vourite music – goose bumps guaranteed.
The Linear D mk II is the perfect complement to streamers and CD players. It rec

ognises digital signals, automatically selects the optimal input and needs no input
selector. The Sabre DAC from ESS on the quad-layer circuit board, which has
been optimised against HF interference, offers both digital S/PDIF and TOSLINK
inputs. Low-loss mica capacitors on the mainboard and in the converter analogue
filter as well as ultra fast amplifier stages on the converter board guarantee
reference quality. Owing to three settings the Linear D mk II adapts to the most
diverse headphone-source combinations, and with one analogue and two digital
inputs it also delivers a breathtakingly expressive performance as a streaming
preamp on active loudspeakers.
The Linear D mk II makes people happy who want to enjoy music in an intense
and pristine way and brings together those who share musical enjoyment: two
parallel outputs on the discrete class A solid-state output stages powerfully feed
two headphones of equal impedance without compromising the listening experi

ence. Our 3S Device Feet decouple the Linear D mk II from its base and provide
calmness. So the Linear D mk II sounds even more sculptural now: with lush, yet
never ostentatious lows, delicate resolution and zero-gravity elegance over the
entire frequency range. Turn the massive, damped potentiometer of the Linear D
mk II. Rediscover your analogue and digital musical treasures!
