Specifications:

The HD 980 is engineered to deliver the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. With signal-to-noise specs mirroring those of the mixing consoles on which the original recordings were made, and a 32-bit DSP for the highest possible jitter rejection, the HD 980 delivers musical purity without artefacts or veils. You’ll hear nothing (at least not from the HD 980) to distract you from your favourite music.
