Although anyone who enjoys listening to music
through headphones will often find that there is a
headphone connection in many audio source de-
vices or amplifiers, the quality of the built-in head-
phone amplifier modules is usually far below what
the headphones are capable of. To get round this,
you need a separate headphone amplifier with
high quality discrete amplifier circuitry.
But the Vincent SA-96 is much more than this: the
combination of a high quality stereo preamplifier
for three high level sources (CD player, tuner etc.),
a headphone amplifier and a player for MP3
music from USB data storage media. So with this
preamplifier, suitable main amplifiers and loud-
speakers, you can build a small stereo system that
positively stands out from the standard format of
normal hifi components.
As a headphone preamplifier this device fulfils the
desire to switch between and listen to various
music sources in the best quality without having to
use an amplifier with loudspeaker outputs. The
system can then be upgraded to a pre-and-main-
1. Keys for MP3 playback control
These are the buttons for controlling the
playback of the built-in MP3 player.
2. VOLUME: Volume dial
This is the knob for the adjustment of the main
volume level of the system. It consequently
controls the volume of the headphone and the
signal of the stereo preamplifier outputs (14).
3. INPUT: Input Selector
This dial allows you to choose one of the four
input sources (USB, S1, S2 or S3).
4. LED “DISK”
This LED remains illuminated as long as a
supported USB memory or USB player is
connected to the SA-96.
5. LED “MP3”
This LED remains illuminated as long as a
supported USB device that contains supported
MP3 files is connected to the SA-96.
6. LED: “PLAY“
This LED remains illuminated as long as MP3
files are being played back by the SA-96.
7. SR: Infrared receiver for the
remote control
8. PHONES: Headphone socket
Headphones with an impedance of at least 32
can be connected to this 6.3 mm jack socket.
9. USB: Connection socket for
USB storage medium
You can connect a USB storage medium here.
If this contains MP3 files, these can be played
with the MP3 player built into the SA-96.
10. POWER
This is the main power switch for turning on
and off the device. The SA-96 is separated
from the mains voltage when switched off and
cannot be set into a standby state.
amplifier combination at any time. The built-in
MP3 player also allows you to play music in this
format from external USB storage media and most
portable players with USB connections. A big
benefit here is the compact design which permits
you to take this universal device with you anywhe-
re. Two stereo preamplifier outputs permit connec-
tion to one or more main amplifiers. The unmodi-
fied signal of the currently chosen source can be
transmitted via the recording output to a recording
device. If the main amplifier(s) and audio sources
used support POWER CONTROL, the entire
system can be switched on and off with one
switch on this preamplifier. Naturally, it all comes
with the highest quality workmanship and an out-
standing price performance ratio.
Technically and visually designed for Vincent’s
solidLine, the device is especially suitable as
preamplifier for the Vincent SP-996 or SP-997
models. This preamplifier is also the ideal partner
for Vincent CD players and tuners. In combination
with the HiFi furniture and speaker cables from the
range, one can build a perfectly harmonious system.
