Designed to minimize computer-generated jitter noise, the AI-101DA Integrated Amplifier with USB DAC is compatible not only with wired computers but also with smartphones via Bluetooth aptX. Of course, the AI-101DA is also compatible with conventional ⅛-inch jacks. It’s capable of processing high-res audio up to 192kHz, thanks to the on-board PCM1796 DAC by BurrBrown, which is coupled with an up-conversion function to provide the smoothest audio possible.
Note: This drop's base price is for the AI-101DA amp in black or silver. At checkout, you can add the two-piece LS-101 speaker set to your order (+$75) or opt to get the speaker set on its own (- $115).
Fitted with a class-D power amp, the AI-101DA produces 26W + 26W of output, while the DSP-based HR Loudness function delivers heavy bass even on the smallest speakers. And to cater to a variety of headphones, including high-impedance cans, the AI-101DA offers 100mW + 100mW of headphone output. Other features include a power-saving function, which automatically activates the system upon detecting an incoming audio signal and deactivates it after 3 minutes of inactivity.
Compact yet powerful, the LS-101 speakers boast 20-millimeter soft-dome tweeters with chrome-plated diffusers, enabling high-res audio in the high-frequency range. The rear panels feature a bass reflex port as well as a binding post-type terminals.
