• Audiophile sound quality and construction: all analog
gain blocks are fully discrete; premium components and
hand-matched transistors used throughout; two sepa-
rate independent linear power supplies with toroidal
transformers isolate analog and digital circuitry pre-
venting crosstalk or interference.
• Easy to use — automatically detects input signal bit-
stream type and adjusts mode.
LCD window shows
decoding and signal information and error messages;
LED indicators show button selections. Clean uncluttered
control layout.
• Flexible input management: select from 11 sources,
including 6 digital and 1 with discrete analog 5.1 input.
Toggle button switches easily between digital and ana-
log inputs.
