TEAC AI-301DA Amplifier, Compact, Hi-Res, Remote Control Not Included

Remote control not included.

The AI-301DA is a stereo integrated amplifier with a built-in DAC that supports USB input for DSD 5.6MHz and PCM 192kHz/32bit, as well as Bluetooth® with the high-quality aptX® codec.

USB input from your computer supports DSD 5.6MHz and PCM 192kHz/32bit, allowing you to easily enjoy the world of hi-res audio. The USB input supports asynchronous mode, which theoretically ignores USB transmission jitter, ensuring pure digital audio signal transfer. It also features two S/PDIF inputs, with coaxial digital input supporting up to 192kHz/24bit and optical digital input supporting up to 96kHz/24bit. In addition to hi-res audio support, it also supports playback from Bluetooth® devices. The aptX® codec, essential for high-quality wireless playback with features like low latency and excellent error recovery, allows you to easily enjoy high-quality wireless playback from your smartphone. The D/A converter processing these input digital signals uses the BurrBrown PCM1795, capable of 32-bit processing, easily handling the vast data volume of hi-res audio sources.

The heart of the amplifier, the power amplifier section, employs a 40W + 40W (4Ω) output Class-D amplifier from Denmark's ICEpower, utilizing their HCOM (Hybrid feedback Controlled Oscillating Modulator) and MECC (Multivariable Enhanced Cascade Control) feedback loop methods for faithful amplification of input signals. Furthermore, thanks to the heat-efficient Class-D amplifier, it features a silent design with no cooling fan. The headphone output uses CCLC (Coupling Capacitor Less Circuit) to provide a high-dimensional headphone listening experience.

With its neat appearance featuring an aluminum panel, it is simple and compact, making it suitable for placement near your TV. When digitally connected to your TV's optical digital audio output, it features an auto power-on function that automatically turns on the AI-301DA upon detecting a digital signal input.
