Premium Hi-Fi tubes
With built-in Hi-Fi Tubes, you can now 
experience sound of the highest quality that¡¦s 
usually only associated with premium 
audiophile systems. The analog nature of the 
tubes provides a more pleasing sound to our 
non-linear hearing system. Sound from a tube 
has low distortion and is always preferred for 
its clean and detailed, warm and life-like audio 
quality.
Class 'D' Amplifier
Class ‘D’ Digital Amplifier takes an analog 
signal, converts it into a digital signal and then 
amplifies the signal digitally. The signal then 
enters a demodulation filter to give the final 
output. The amplified digital output delivers all 
the advantages of digital audio, including 
improved sound quality. In addition, Class ‘D’ 
Digital Amplifier has greater than 90% 
efficiency compared to traditional AB 
amplifiers. This high efficiency translates into a 
powerful amplifier with a small footprint.
Ribbon Tweeter in Micro System
The Neodymium Ribbon Tweeter is a 
monopole tweeter that produces dynamic and 
crisp sound from the front. It is a feature 
commonly used in high-end audio systems to 
reproduce sound with excellent fidelity. 
Conventional cones and dome tweeters are 
based on a directional moving coil principle 
whereas the monopole Neodymium Ribbon 
Tweeter radiates high frequencies in a full 180-
degree radiation pattern. This dramatically 
increases the width of the sound spectrum in 
the higher tones and expands the sweet spot 
zone to deliver wide, crystal-clear, and natural 
sound even from compact audio systems.
Dome mid range
Prepare for stunning sound with the 
combination of a silk dome mid-high frequency 
speaker with an ultrasonic ribbon tweeter. The 
silk speaker delivers warm sound and the gauzy 
ribbon tweeter delivers clear and dynamic 
sound. What you'll experience is a harmonious 
blend of undistorted and uncolored wide-
ranging sound ... that's as smooth as silk.
Gold-plated speaker connector
The Gold-plated speaker connector ensures 
better audio signal transmission compared to 
traditional click-fit connections. It also 
minimizes the electrical signal loss from the 
amplifier to the speaker box, resulting in sound 
reproduction that's as close to reality as 
possible.
HDMI output
HDMI is a direct digital connection that can 
carry digital HD video as well as digital 
multichannel audio. By eliminating the 
conversion to analog signals it delivers perfect 
picture and sound quality, completely free 
from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible 
with DVI.
12-bit/108MHz video DAC
12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-
Analogue-Converter that preserves every 
detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows 
subtle shades and smoother graduation of 
colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural 
picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC 
become in particular apparent while using large 
screens and projectors.
Leatherback remote control
With a perfect balance of sleek dimensions 
with a comfortably light weight, this 
ergonomically designed remote control is a joy 
to use. Its slick metallic-finished flat key front is 
attractively contrasted with a genuine leather 
back cover. In addition, the stylish, precision-
cut keypad ensures a qualitative navigation 
experience. Feel the splendor of pure design 
and control.
