General Information
Fully balanced design built by discrete analog stages without any OPA and coupling caps in the signal channels, built in real balanced DAC, output for headphone (4-pin XLR or 1/4") and DAC (fixed output) with preamp (variable output).
- Non-feedback ACSS analog output stage.
- LED display avoids RF disturbance for better sound quality.
- Large R-core transformers and Hi-fi grade parts like DALE resistors, WIMA caps.
- Total of 6-group PSUs are used to purify the power supply , the analog amp has discrete PSU power supply.
- Four-channel digitally controlled relay-based volume control to avoid channel imbalance and improve sound quality.
-80 steps volume level control in both high gain mode and low gain mode.
- 160-step volume control ensures smooth control of the volume level.
- 4 digital inputs: Coaxial RCA / Coaxial BNC / Optical / USB
- 2 analog inputs: XLR / RCA
- DAC output: XLR / RCA / ACSS (User can set either variable output level as preamp or fixed output level as dedicated DAC).
- Headphone output : 4 pin XLR / 1/4" (6.3MM) SE.

Im particularly interested with your experience using the Alpha Dogs on this amp, both unbalanced and balanced. Are they a good pairing? How is the bass (particularly when using balanced?)
Thanks!
