The 2-channel integrated amplifier designed around class G amplification boasts an extensive feature list including wireless connectivity, Dirac Live room correction, five analogue inputs including a switchable MM/MC phono input, four digital inputs, ESS Sabre ESS9038 DAC, Roon and MQA, AirPlay 2, UPnP, GoogleCast, and HDMI.
Class G implements multiple power supplies rather than just a single supply. If a dynamic signal is received that goes beyond the capability of this first power supply, the secondary supply is gradually brought in up to full rated power output as required. This gives a very efficient design as additional power is only used when required, much like a turbocharger. Modern high-speed silicon allows us the make this switch faster that would ever be required, even way beyond the audio bandwidth, so there is no “turbo lag”.
