Our thoughts

A single small chassis that takes in a computer, a television and a phone, built around a Class AB amplifier for listeners who want one box to handle every source.

The built-in ESS DAC accepts USB audio up to high-resolution PCM and DSD, and Roon Tested certification means a Roon setup can feed it. Rated 33 W into 4 ohms and 25 W into 8 ohms, the amplifier uses an in-house wound high-current toroidal transformer designed to keep current available on demand. HDMI ARC with CEC lets the television's remote control the amplifier, and the subwoofer output gives a direct route to a sub.

It suits compact systems in a desk, bedroom or living room where streaming, TV and digital sources share a single amplifier. Because its power ratings depend on the load, speaker choice and room fit are worth a proper conversation, so call the team or come in to talk through matching and placement with us.
