■ 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.
