∫ Features of this unit
This unit offers the following features:
Full-digital amplifier with a high-precision jitter reduction circuit and PWM conversion circuit
This unit is a full-digital amplifier. Its specially-designed jitter reduction circuit and high-precision PWM conversion circuit eliminate
distortion, noise, and jitter.
LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration)
Adaptive processing of speaker impedance flattens frequency amplitude and phase characteristics. The result is the reproduction
of sound with rich spatial expression.
GaN-FET Driver
High-speed, loss-less switching is required to achieve pure amplification of accurately generated PWM signals. For this reason,
this unit is provided with a high-speed GaN-FET Driver with super-low ON resistance.
∫ Recommended devices
We recommend using Technics devices (optional) for superior audio quality.
