Integrated Amplifier

Integrated amplifiers have definitely found their place in the audio world. With some compelling advantages—space-efficient size, straightforward connectivity, fewer cable requirements, performance levels equivalent to those from separate pre- and power amplifiers—the music lover can now build a cost-effective and convenient music system. Consequently, many manufacturers are putting their best efforts into the design of these components. The A read more…

Integrated Digital Amplifier

The key difference between analog and digital amplification is the manner in which the input signal is amplified. Put simply, with analog amplification, the analog input signal is amplified without modification. On the other hand, with digital amplification, the analog signal is converted into a pulse (digital) signal and then amplified, before being converted back into an analog signal. Generally speaking, a digital amplifier offers greater power  read more…

Integrated Digital Amplifier

Digital amplification enables significant power efficiency savings and supports smaller, more compact designs—obvious benefits for today’s home lifestyles. With the A-9555 integrated digital amplifier, sound quality takes precedence over all else. By using Onkyo’s exclusive Vector Linear (VL) Digital technology to remove any spike noise before it introduces errors into the inversion timing, it is possible to get a highly acc read more…

Integrated Digital Amplifier

The benefits of digital amplification have been recognized by the audio industry for some time. With minimal power leakage, digital amplifiers can achieve a power efficiency of up to 90%. Without the need for large heat sinks, manufacturers can focus on introducing more compact, sleeker designs. By considering the fundamentals of audio reproduction and accurate analogue-to-digital conversion, Onkyo has introduced a better solution to integrat read more…
