he HA 200 Amplifier is a stout component with one of the best-built cases I’ve ever seen. There isn’t a single stamping in evidence. Rather, the front panel is milled from billet aluminum. The top, bottom, and back are aluminum plates; and the sides are extruded finned heat sinks. It’s sized somewhere between a desktop amp and a rack-mounted box with decent heft at just over 14 pounds. Every button operates with a high-end feel and the volume dial has firm clicks as well.

In the front, starting on the left, are the three headphone outputs switched by buttons. Above those are analog VU meters, always a nice touch. Next is a row of discrete input selectors. Above that is a detailed display that shows the current input, bitrate, volume level, and the status of any sound enhancements that might be operating. The volume knob on the far right clicks firmly as you turn it. If you adjust the volume with the remote, it makes audible clicks.
