∫ Features of this unit
This unit offers the following features:
Full-digital amplifier with a high-precision jitter reduction c ircuit and PWM conversion circuit
This unit is a full-digital amplifier. Its specially-designed j itter reduction circuit and high-precision PWM conversion circu it eliminate 
distortion, noise, and jitter.
LAPC (Load Adaptive Phase Calibration)
Adaptive processing of speaker impedance flattens frequency amplitude and phase characteristics. The result is the reproductio n 
of sound with rich spatial expression.
GaN-FET Driver
High-speed, loss-less switching is required to achieve pure amp lification of accurately generated PWM signals. For this reason, 
this unit is provided with a high-speed GaN-FET Driver with sup er-low ON resistance.
∫Recommended devices
We recommend using Technics devices (optional) for superior aud io quality.
