Full Description

Tools of the trade

The Amari comes with everything you'll ever need to get the best possible sound from your system. As DAC is an incredibly important stage in your audio reproduction - Antelope Audio is committed to creating the best tools for this integral job.

This reference grade AD/DA converter delivers 24-bit conversion and DSD 256 support. This typical of Antelope Audio's commitment to quality. And thanks to the easy to use interface, controlling the Amari is easier than ever. The Amari features two separate headphone outputs with user-selectable output resistance. So two people can enjoy the music and set the levels to their own liking.

Exceptional conversion

Unlike no other. The Amari is an industry standard mastering DAC for your home setup. Antelope Audio has fitted it with Acoustical Focused Clocking management technology. When working alongside the 384 kHz, 240-bit conversion, the Amari is able to output reference grade audio quality. Your music has never sounded better.

The Digital to Analog conversion stage of the Amari is top class. It implements eight total DAC architecture. This really helps to widen and enhance the stereo image. This form of conversion helps your music have more depth and can unveil all the digital you may miss on less complex systems. The headphone outputs feature dual DAC architecture which offers maximum performance.

Top class headphone control

Playback perfected with two ultra quality headphone outs. The two outputs feature separate controls which allow two users to set levels separately. Each with its own trim and selectable impedance. The selectable impedance ranges from -4.6 to 85.3 Ohms - across 17 control steps. This means you can match your favourite headphones perfectly with the amplifier. Helping your music sing.

Thanks to the high-quality headphone driver chip. Your headphones have sounded so crisp and clear. The amplifier features a dual-amp design. This eliminates heat drift to deliver the best possible signal quality.
