Austrian Audio – Full Score One

Unsurpassed Sound Quality

With the Full Score one, Austrian Audio presents its first high-end headphone amplifier for audiophiles seeking incomparable sound quality. Developed like a low-noise power amplifier, it is suitable for both low-impedance headphones down to 10 ohms and high-impedance headphones with a sensitivity of over 300 ohms.

The amplifier features a wideband, fully symmetrical voltage feedback circuit with a triple emitter-follower output stage in Class B, a high-speed complementary push-pull gain stage, and a cascaded parallel differential input stage.

This meticulous design ensures minimal total harmonic distortion (THD) at any output level and frequency range, allowing you to enjoy every detail of your favorite recordings, even with less sensitive headphones that require additional amplification.

For the ultimate headphone listening experience, the Full Score one is the premier choice and promises an auditory journey that exceeds all expectations.

True Transient Technology (TTT)

Austrian Audio presents the groundbreaking “True Transient Technology” (TTT) used in the Full Score one. This proprietary technology ensures that the amplifier delivers the steepest transients to the listener unchanged. With a short, output-voltage-invariant rise time and a high maximum slew rate, the amplifier preserves the full bandwidth and subtle nuances of the recording.

This feature can be conveniently activated using the TTT button on the front panel. The listener has the option to activate or deactivate TTT depending on the content being played. For some older audio productions mixed with slower systems in mind, it may be advantageous to deactivate TTT to maintain the intended sound.

For audiophiles seeking an enhanced headphone experience, TTT is invaluable. By revealing hidden details in the music, it allows enthusiasts to unlock the full potential of their headphones, creating an unparalleled listening experience.

Exceptional Sonic Precision and Comfort

The Full Score one guarantees superior, high-precision sound with its well-thought-out design elements. The volume potentiometer features a custom curve that increases comfort when adjusting at lower levels and makes a gain switch unnecessary.

Before the volume control, the signal input is buffered by a fast, high-impedance JFET amplifier. This design minimizes capacitive loading on the source and provides maximum immunity to high-frequency interference, thereby preserving audio quality.

The linear power supply, which can power multiple headphones simultaneously, guarantees optimal performance during demanding listening sessions. The fanless design ensures silent operation, while the all-metal housing offers shielding, robustness, and elegance, making it suitable for various environments, from the recording studio to the living room.
