The power stage delivers 50 W per channel into 8 ohms and 65 W into 4 ohms, with 0.08 % harmonic distortion and a damping factor of 100. It is built on a current feedback topology, HDAM-SA3 modules and a toroidal transformer. It therefore keeps control of a wide range of speakers, even at high volume.
A turntable plugs straight into the MM phono stage, rated at 3.1 mV into 47 kohms. The HDMI ARC input brings in the television's sound, and the unit switches itself on when a digital signal arrives. A preamp output and a subwoofer output complete the four audio inputs.
The Bluetooth receiver accepts the aptX, aptX HD and aptX Adaptive codecs. The optical and coaxial inputs go through an ES Sabre DAC that handles PCM up to 192 kHz/24-bit. The unit can also transmit over Bluetooth to wireless headphones, whose volume is set from the amplifier.
The low-noise OLED display shows the source and volume in the middle of the front panel. Source Direct takes the bass, treble and balance controls out of the signal path. Supplied with the RC006PMCD remote control, the unit is 44.2 cm wide, weighs 7.9 kg and comes in black or silver-gold.
