Master Fidelity Nadac L Preamplifier - The Ultimate Preamplifier
04.06.2025 05:36 | ~1 minute read
Master Fidelity has unveiled the Master Fidelity Nadac L preamplifier, which features a dedicated volume control chip developed in collaboration with a semiconductor manufacturer using a JFET-like CMOS ASIC architecture. This analog gain control circuit delivers silent operation, less than 0.1 dB channel-to-channel imbalance, ultra-low distortion (THD+N) and a signal-to-noise ratio of 116 dB. Thanks to silicon-level design, the Master Fidelity Nadac L is claimed to achieve performance far superior to standard components.
The Master Fidelity Nadac L preamplifier is built using a dual mono design. The audio path uses ultra-precise resistors with a 2 ppm tolerance to maintain stability and ultra-low noise. The capacitors are high-quality hybrid models.
The Master Fidelity Nadac L features a linear power supply based on a custom-designed toroidal transformer. The power supply system also features a rectifier circuit to minimize AC-to-DC conversion losses. High-quality capacitor arrays provide ample power reserves, while multi-stage linear regulators reduce noise and optimize transient response. The Master Fidelity Nadac L preamplifier will be available soon, along with a suggested retail price.

DALI V-16 F – 16 Inches and Bass from 19 Hz
DALI has released the top subwoofer DALI V-16 F – the model has become the culmination of the company's developments in the field of low frequency reproduction. The heart of the sub is the latest 16” driver, which is equipped with a T-shaped ventilated pole piece to ensure symmetrical distribution of magnetic flux through the voice coil. The ventilation hole in this tip expands at both ends, providing turbulent air flow, while two Faraday rings suppress flow modulation.
