PARASOUND HINT 6
PARASOUND HINT 6
Parasound introduserer HINT 6, som er en ytterligere forbedret versjon av den meget populære Halo Integrated.
Etter at den originale Halo Integrated Amplifier ble introdusert, ble den raskt kjent som «HINT» i Parasound fellesskapet, og navnet benyttes også på den nye modellen. Den fantastiske lydkvaliteten og musikaliteten til den originale Hint får du selvfølgelig også i HINT 6. Parasound HINT 6 har John Curl-designet effektforsterker på 160 watt per kanal (240 watt @ 4 ohm). HINT 6 har hjemmekino-bypass-funksjon, 2.1-kanals analog bass administrasjon, en dedikert hodetelefon forsterker, samt MM / MC phono-forsterker. Parasound HINT 6 har en helt ny Burr-Brown analog volumkontroll som reduserer støynivået, forbedret venstre-høyre separasjon på et hvilket som helst volumnivå. Samme volumkontroll har et lettlest front-display. En ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC dekoder et bredt spekter av digitale musikkfiler via to optiske, en koaksial og en ny oppgradert USB-inngang – nå med plug and play-støtte for Windows 10 i tillegg til Mac. Den asynkrone USB 2.0-inngangen støtter PCM opptil 384 kHz / 32-biters native DSD256 og DoP DSD bitstrømmer. De koaksiale og optiske inngangene godtar PCM opp til 192 kHz / 24-bit. Andre kretsforbedringer er en forbedret op-amp i forforsterker delen, forbedret L-R kanalseparasjon, og økt forsterkning for MC- og MM-phono-inngangene. Det nye chassiset er tilgjengelig i enten svart eller sølvfinish og ytterligere forbedret med en subtile gull kant og sandblåste aluminiums deksler.
