Can be used with legacy products via the legacy range of cables.
•
Separate DR PSUs for power amplifier, including the XLR input stage.
•
Eight NA009 Naim custom designed power transistors as developed for Statement (4 for the PSUs and 4 for the output stages). Each mounted on ceramic insulators for ultra low capacitive coupling.
•
Newly developed output stage with double
driver and double power transistor – improved sound quality and more power.
•
New triple transistor constant current source (CCS)in delicate gain stage – uses a newly developed CCS for improved sound quality.
•
Party-proof: new heatsink design responds to temperature fluctuation, keeping things cool.
•
0.5W standby power
Using two internal power supplies; one is a high quality audiophile linear type, based on a large toroidal transformer. The other is a highly efficient SMPSU for 0.5W power consumption in standby during standby mode.
•
Soft-start power up sequence, preventing the large toroidal transformers from tripping mains circuit breakers due to the large influx of voltage required.
•
3.5mm optical inter-product communications for synchronised system control, preventing ground loops. This facility offers LED brightness and power control.
•
Eddy current divide situated between speaker output terminals for improved sound quality.
•
Custom audiophile components such as polystyrene capacitors in filter circuits for low dielectric absorption.
•
Through-hole components reducing microphonies picked up via the circuit board fluctuations.
