The Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier is an integrated amplifier with built-in DAC and phono stage from Roksan Audio Ltd, a well-established British manufacturer known for accomplished, considered electronics and turntable engineering, built with comprehensive dual-gain phono support. The Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier brings Roksan's considered engineering to a complete, feature-rich integrated chassis.

Key specs that matter

One balanced XLR input and two single-ended inputs are provided. The phono stage uses a sophisticated current-sensing design at 47,000 ohms. Output power is 105W into 8 ohms, rising to 200W into 4 ohms. Gain is 29dBu for line or a substantial 53dBu for phono. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 85dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.007%. At 93 x 432 x 378mm and 15.2kg, the Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier represents a substantial integrated amplifier commitment reflecting Roksan's considered British engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean amplification reflecting the exceptionally low 0.007% distortion figure, with the built-in DAC and phono stage covering both digital and analogue vinyl sources directly.

Pairing

The built-in DAC and phono stage cover both digital and analogue vinyl sources directly without needing separate outboard devices.

Alternatives

Roksan's own Caspian 4G Streaming Amplifier offers a related model with added network streaming functionality within the same broader integrated amplifier catalogue.
