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

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.
