Pass Labs XA25

While reading the 6moons reviews from 2018 and 2023, I noticed in the pictures from the 2023 review the XA25 has what looks like a small transformer (I may be wrong) mounted to a circuit board. I don’t see this transformer in the pictures from 2018. Does anyone know what’s the purpose of this transformer?

Congrats on the Pass XA-25 purchase. I have have had mine for several years as well driving my Dynaudio Heritage Specials and the Pass is excellent. Let us know after you receive yours and have had a chance to listen a bit.

according to the dealer the XA25 is backlogged 8 weeks.

I will but it might be a while due to the 8 week wait and extended break in time.

I have had my XA25 5 years.  Great sound

I've had a Pass XA-25 for maybe 5 years or something (is that vague enough?) and it's an astonishing amp with unequaled clarity and transparency. Although I rotate it from time to time with a Dennis Had tube SEP that has a similar sound...or at least an equally enjoyable sound...with the efficient speakers I use (just switched to Pure Audio Project Duet 15 Horn 1s) either amp just makes my earballs glow. And glowing earballs is what you want, right?
