The amplifier operates in the AB-class and is equipped with a linear power supply unit with a massive 400 VA toroidal transformer, which can output 80 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 130 watts at a four-ohm load. In addition to the two linear analog inputs, the amplifier has two optical and two coaxial digital inputs, the latter allowing decoding of the PCM stream from MQA. Digital-to-analog conversion up to 24/192 is implemented on a Burr Brown chip. The aptX Bluetooth wireless connection ensures stable transmission of music content from mobile devices at a distance of up to 15 meters.
An amplifier based on the Attesa line. Built according to the innovative Euphoria architecture with a "smart" class AB. It is equipped with a hybrid volume control and a built-in Rapture DAC, a MM phono corrector with an accuracy of 0.5 dB recovery of the RIAA curve. The signal processor of the device is controlled via the Maestro Unite mobile application. The display is monochrome OLED.
The integrated amplifiers of the new Caspian 4G series use Roksan's proprietary Euphoria Class AB amplification technology, which, according to the developer, "combines power and elegance." This technology uses separate power sources for current and voltage amplifiers to achieve a clearer sound. The analog preamp section in the new series has also undergone a major upgrade.
