Integrated Amplifier & Streamer
OWNER’S MANUAL
THE SUPER INTEGRATED
Imagine a complete High-End stereo system enclosed in a beautiful aluminium chassis carved in bold Italian style: this is IS-1000.
With the knowledge and the experience developed in over 20 years of research, we are now able to offer an all-in-one solution powered by the most advanced technologies and components to achieve true audiophile quality sound.
IS-1000 is an advanced fully integrated amplifier that redefines the way music playback is experienced to achieve a new pinnacle in High-End audio, seamlessly merging an Integrated Amplifier, a Phono Preamp, a DAC and a Streamer in a unique, complete source.
The refined technical innovations of IS-1000 come directly from our flagship models, like the preamplifier P- 1000 and the power amplifier PA-1175, which inspired us to create a new source that would integrate the analogue components of a high quality amplifier with the digital technologies of a Streamer and a DAC to deliver outstanding performances.
IS-1000 is a Roon Ready device, fully compatible with multi-room systems and with a quick plug&play installation: simply plug IS-1000 to the main A/C, connect it to your network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) then to the speakers and start to explore the endless possibilities of music, streaming from Tidal & MQA via Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify & Spotify Connect and Deezer with Roon and our App [available for iOS and Android] or browsing your collection of digital music stored on NAS, HDD and USB sticks (DSD 64 native and via DoP on USB and LAN, PCM up to 24/192 with exclusive possible option to interchange the DAC converter PCB).
You don’t need anything else to experience at home the pleasure of high definition audio, just IS-1000 and your speakers. If you love vinyl records, connect your turntable directly into IS-1000 to use the Phono Preamp we designed and engineered, it’s really that simple.
The Heart of IS-1000 is the powerful integrated amplifier that offers 125W @Ω 8 and 250W @ 4Ω developed using only the best audio grade components specifically chosen to deliver the ultimate performance.
The Mind of IS-1000 is the advanced streamer based on the latest technology to guarantee perfect connectivity and access HQ music on TIDAL, QOBUZ, SPOTIFY and DEEZER and also the HQ web radio with V-TUNER.
No other cables, no additional boxes. Just endless music in High Resolution.
