CLASSIC 102i   Integrated Amplifier τιμή χωρίς το Dac.

Designed to further improve the sound reproduction of our previous integrated amplifiers, we are not afraid to say that we have entered a new era of low noise, high harmonic contrast circuits.

This has been achieved thanks to a new circuit design, a modern volume control system, the latest generation components and a series of advanced features that guarantee you crystal-clear and precise sound. One of the main features of the CLASSIC 102i is its ability to amplify the audio signal without distortion and with a high dynamic range. The sound is reproduced with the highest possible fidelity, without background noise, alterations in the frequency response and the typical distortion that limits the dynamic sense of the music. The CLASSIC B1 is also equipped with a series of audio inputs and outputs, making it compatible with a wide range of devices. An exceptional MM phono input, two balanced inputs and 3 line inputs make it possible to use the preamplifier with any source, from CD players to turntables. The optional DAC implemented on the SABRE ESS 9038 q2m further expands the possibility of digital enjoyment and streaming with an exciting level of playback without comparison. Finally, we have also designed it to be easy to use and set up. Thanks to its simple and intuitive interface, you can set up the preamplifier in just a few minutes and start enjoying high- quality sound quickly and intuitively.  

Balanced circuitry It is our philosophy and we are proud to develop it to the best of our ability and always have.

 

There are many conflicting opinions on this configuration. Some say it is useless in a domestic environment, others say it degrades and dirties the sound, and others say it only serves to determine a higher cost of the equipment for purely commercial purposes.

In part, this may only be true if this aspect of the project is neglected or poorly designed.

Recent field tests have also demonstrated that if the overall design is executed according to the rules of the art, the final result can be considered the maximum in terms of musicality, transparency and dynamics.

In the CLASSIC 102i nothing has been left to chance, starting from a dual mono power supply and circuitry up to the real heart where each amplification section is double, including the innovative volume control that uses two separate stages for each channel on a digitally controlled MOSFET array. Furthermore, thanks to its native balanced nature, even the single ended line inputs are entirely converted to balanced, including the PHONO RIAA stage. In very simple words you will not hear a more dynamic and transparent preamplifier than this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                        

     The volume control section, a stage not to be underestimated.

 

The most delicate and fundamental part, which must be treated with extreme care, because it is also this stage that as a whole determines the general performance of the reproduction.    

Unlike many manufacturers who use classic motorized potentiometers, we have developed a completely different stage that guarantees the project a set of very important and performance advantages. We have implemented a gain control through an array of shielded Mos-fets in a special IC that are digitally controlled. As a first factor, we have eliminated forever the wear of the carbon layer typical of traditional potentiometers and this forever cancels the onset of the annoying Hum & Noise and Pop & Click that are inevitable with wear over time.

Another advantage that is often overlooked is the linearity of the response that is modified when increasing or decreasing the volume with the use of carbon layer potentiometers or even the more sophisticated resistor array potentiometers.

This occurs when the signal passing through the potentiometer encounters a resistance that also modifies the impedance factor and causes this artefact .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The optional DAC section:

 

it is possible to equip the preamplifier with a latest generation DAC stage that further expands the B1 inputs for new digital technologies. 4 additional USB, COAX, OPTICAL and AES/EBU inputs make the preamplifier extremely versatile with a wide choice of connection possibilities to best enjoy your music from your favorite source.

Whether you stream, play a CD or play a TV, this section will give you the best in playback and musicality.

The project is developed on a SABRE 9038q2m device which guarantees shocking dynamics and “sweetness”.

 

The DAC reads files with conversion up to 384 Khz in PCM and DSD 256 in Dop or DSD 512 natively.   

Installation is very simple and the firmware automatically recognizes the DAC connection by enabling the appropriate controls and service menu section on the display.
