Cary Audio has introduced a new streaming integrated amplifier Cary Audio DMS-300A – the model develops a power of 2 x 75 W into speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms, uses MOSFET transistor amplification of class A/B and achieves 100 dB signal-to-noise ratio with 0.5% distortion.
The network integrated amplifier Cary Audio DMS-300A is built on discrete elements. In terms of digital conversion, the model uses a modern AKM chip and supports streaming services, including Qobuz Connect, TIDAL Connect and Spotify Connect. The new product is also certified Roon Ready.
Also, Cary Audio DMS-300A users can connect to a home computer network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and use AirPlay or Bluetooth.
In addition to streaming, the Cary Audio DMS-300A supports a variety of digital and analog inputs and outputs, making it suitable for use as the centerpiece of a Hi-Fi stereo system. The Cary Audio DMS-300A amplifier is available in black or silver and is available now for a suggested retail price of $5,995.
