By using multiple DACs in parallel, individual non-linearities of each DAC tend to average out. This is because the probability of all DACs having the exact same non-linearity error at the same digital input value is nearly zero. The results are nothing short of breathtaking.

Streaming with a network AirLens, a PerfectWave SACD transport, connecting to your computer via USB, or playing music through any digital source is the mainstay of getting music into your home. The quality of that music is directly impacted by the device that converts those digital bits into analog audio we can use to power our speakers. That is the job of the DAC. And DACs are sensitive and highly sophisticated electronic circuits that are affected by any number of issues, including jitter, noise, distortion, resolution, and quantization errors, to mention just a few. When it comes time to find the perfect DAC for your system, it makes sense to turn to a company like PS Audio which places sonic performance and the joy of musicality above all else. If you truly want the next big step in your high-end audio system, consider StellarGold for your your digital playback.

This incredibly wide range can accommodate very high source levels and very high sensitivity power amplifiers enabling refined volume control at very low levels, which is ideal for late-night listening. This is a ‘first’ for an AVC. In use, the control is seamless with no discernible steps. The Allegri Reference is the Holy Grail of audio preamplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1aa3626 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eTownshend's Fractal Wire\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d55b9e elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis purely passive autotransformer design is wired throughout with Townshend Audio’s unique Fractal™ wire, which was developed over many years of critical listening, by the most discerning audiophiles and is audibly superior to plain copper, silver and even DCT copper wire. The result is the most accurate, uncoloured and open-sounding preamplifier possible, offering astonishing transparency and resolution of the finest details.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo realise the full potential of the Allegri Reference, it is most important to use Townshend Audio F1 Fractal™ interconnects for both input and output, as just one metre of inferior interconnect can noticeably degrade the sound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd30e28 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eReed Relays\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b7a890 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal path is as simple as possible, with just four of the 102 ultra-reliable reed relays in the signal path at any one time. Reed relays are chosen for the tap switching as they are superior to all other switches. They have a life in excess of 30,000,000 operations, which is far longer than regular rotary switches, which tend to wear through the thin contact plating after a few thousand operations. Further, the relay contacts are in a vacuum, so there is no oxidation – and there is a slight rubbing action when the reeds close, which ensures perfect contact for audio. All internal connections are hard-wired with Fractal™ wire and there are no connectors in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58ce0bc elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eRemote Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12fe868 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Allegri Reference remote control allows you to adjust volume, mute, select from five inputs, and set a pre-programmed volume offset. You can also toggle display blanking. Pressing the volume button up or down changes the level by 0.5 dB per step. Holding the button starts with half-second intervals, then speeds up, covering the full 1-to-129 range in 10 seconds for quick, intuitive adjustments.\u003cbr\u003eEach input can be pre-set with a volume level to balance varying source outputs, with a range of ±30 steps (±15 dB). Inputs can also be set to maximum fixed volume (0 dB) for home cinema bypass, letting the AV receiver control volume while the Allegri Reference seamlessly connects to the front left and right power amplifiers. The mute function remains active and doubles as a standby control.\u003cbr\u003eThe Apple-style remote is highly sensitive, requiring no direct aim at the unit. A magnetic attachment under the front of the unit provides convenient storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HiFi In Touch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57795079537024,"sku":null,"price":5995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/5504\/9600\/files\/P1030607.jpg?v=1782400172"},{"product_id":"puritan-audio-classic-mains-cord-copy","title":"Puritan Audio Classic Mains Cord 2 metre","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-size-two\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"title-heading-left\" data-fontsize=\"18\" data-lineheight=\"27\"\u003eClassic Mains Cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightly used as new 2 metre Puritan Classic power cord fitted with UK mains plug \u0026amp; C13 IEC connector. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(189, 31, 31);\"\u003eNote: all our mains cables are burnt in for 3 days using a specialised burn in device.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHiFi In Touch comment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there is a better performing mains cable at anywhere near this price we are yet to hear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor our cable designs we look critically at the value aspect of every element incorporated into the design and construction.
