DENAFRIPS ARTEMIS Headphone Amplifier
Frequently Bought Together
Product Overview & Specifications
The Denafrips Artemis is a flagship, fully discrete Class-A headphone amplifier featuring a true balanced input and output circuit design. Engineered to partner sonically and aesthetically with Denafrips Pontus and Venus DACs, the Artemis utilises a 4-gang, 24-step metal-alloy shielded stepped attenuator for volume control, ensuring volume matching and low crosstalk across all gain levels.
Built with an internal fast-recovery, ultra-low-noise linear power supply with auto-switching worldwide mains voltage support, the Artemis delivers stable DC power via a large low-ESR capacitor bank. Oversized internal heat-sinks manage thermal dissipation for its pure Class-A bias configuration, delivering up to 4W RMS per channel into 32 Ohms across 4-pin XLR, dual 3-pin XLR, and 6.35mm single-ended headphone outputs.
