Summary
This amp combo is one of the best pieces of gear you can buy period. Not only is it a powerful system with plenty of features, but its reference style sound output is in a league of its own, offering some of the purest detail that I’ve heard recently. Even though it’s quite a pricy product, the OOR and Hypsos are the perfect endgame amplifier for those looking for a professional system.
OUR VERDICT
The OOR on its own is a very good solid-state analog headphone amplifier. However, paired with the HYPSOS PSU it becomes a great amplifier.
It looks great also, solidly built, and compact enough for desktop environments and tight audiophile cubby holes. It is not as grandiose as say the Auris Audio HA-2SF tube map, but it does not need to be. This combo has got it where it counts, and that’s on the inside.
The synergy with headgear is just fantastic. The OOR on its own has tons of headroom for the most demanding headphones out there yet the fidelity and delicacy to handle IEMs with equal aplomb. Throw in the HYPSOS backed by a good DAC and that already excellent headroom becomes infused with even better dynamic range and improved resolution.
I honestly was not expecting this fairly unassuming-looking combo to perform that well with headline acts such as the HIFIMAN Susvara and the Abyss Diana Phi. Just how wrong was I?
