A-70DA
Audiophile Pure Audio Full Amplifier/Converter with 2x90 Watt, High-Class Phono Stage and asynchronous USB Digital Input
Class and a great deal of mass
The A-70DA, which weighs more than 17 kilos, is not just about mass,
it is above all about class: Separate mains transformers for
pre-amplifier and amplifier sections, above all when they are
individually cast and shielded as here, provide not only weight, but
also working conditions with unsurpassed low interference for the audio
circuitry. The doubled A-70DA is worth it because
its pre-amplifier has a
completely symmetrical layout. An individual, particularly low-loss
loudspeaker volume control was even integrated for the symmetrical XLR
input. Via its digital inputs the A-70DA is equipped for all modern
music formats. In this respect, the very highest resolutions, such as
Quad-DSD (11.2 MHz) and PCM with 384 kHz and 32 bit, are supported via
USB. The high-resolution counterparts in the analog world are exclusive
MC pick-ups which, thanks to the a switchable phono stage, supply this
top model just as precisely as the widespread MM systems. With its
doubled chassis, the full-metal loudspeaker knob and the thick aluminium
front and side panels, the casing guarantees a suitably high-class
performance.Connectez votre ordinateur directement à l’entrée asynchrone USB. Le transformateur D/A ESS ES9016S intégré traite les signaux lui-même avec la plus haute résolution possible, comme Quad-DSD avec jusqu’à 11,2 MHz et les fichiers PCM dans le format WAV ou FLAC avec jusqu’à 384 kHz et 32 bit.
The three-part chassis effectively shields the power supply, pre-amplifiers and power amplifiers and avoids mutual interference. A fully symmetrical pre-amplifier circuit and symmetrical Neutrik XLR ports achieve the best possible signal-to-noise ratio. XLR connections are standard in the area of studio engineering and much less prone to any kind of interference.
The highly-efficient MOSFET Class D amplifier supplies 90 watts per channel and facilitates extremely dynamic, detailed and precise sound reproduction.
Connect your record player very easily to the phono input using an MM or MC system and enjoy your vinyl collection in the best quality.
The A- 70DA is equipped with a Neutrik 3-pin XLR input. Thanks to the fully balanced preamplifier XLR connection guarantees maximum sound quality, for example in interaction with the network players N-70A or the Universal Player BDP-LX88.
