The output stage delivers 200 W into 8 ohms, 400 W into 4 ohms and 550 W into 2 ohms per channel, continuously. It relies on eight bipolar output devices per channel and a toroidal transformer. The Advanced Load Monitoring circuit watches temperature, current and voltage to protect the amplifier.
Lower-resolution sources are upsampled to 24-bit / 192 kHz. The asynchronous USB input accepts PCM up to 32-bit / 384 kHz and DSD 2.8 / 5.6 MHz. Coaxial and optical S/PDIF inputs and a balanced AES/EBU input complete the digital section.
Two separate phono inputs, MM and MC, sit in a shielded section. Analog inputs are available as balanced XLR and unbalanced, and Analog Direct mode bypasses all digital processing. Bass management drives one or two subwoofers, in mono or stereo, with ARC Genesis and its four storable profiles.
The Black and Silver finishes frame a high-resolution TFT display. Control is by the supplied IR remote, Ethernet or RS-232. The chassis measures 43.2 cm wide, 17.2 cm high and 44.5 cm deep, and weighs 18 kg unpacked.
