Sony TA-A1ES audio amplifier

High-Resolution Audio Stereo Amplifier, 80 W + 80 W <b>The next gen amp for High-Resolution Audio</b>
This amp is designed to give you the best from your High-Resolution Audio. A field-effect transistor (FET) input buffer delivers enhanced sound quality with low distortion. Hear every detail of the song with simplified final stage circuitry that produces a high power output, and bias that's intuitively controlled by and linked to volume position.

<b>Music, as it was meant to be heard</b>
High-Resolution Audio technology delivers every subtlety and nuance of a song in rich, immersive detail.

<b>How Hi-Res Audio works</b>
Taking digital music to better-than-CD quality
High-Res Audio converts analog sound to digital at a higher rate than CDs, producing sound at 24 bit/192 kHz, compared to CDs at 16 bit/44.1 kHz.

<b>Sound without compromise</b>
To ensure the best sound quality for your High-Resolution Audio, the TA-A1ES has been fitted with an FET input buffer and a discrete circuit for the pre-amp. They produce the sharpness and detail that High-Resolution Audio brings to your music with minimal distortion.

<b>Turn up the volume</b>
Hear High-Resolution Audio, loud and clear
The TA-A1ES has simplified the circuitry of the amplifier's final stage by reducing transistors and eliminating the emitter resister, coil, and capacitor. The result is a high power output with low distortion, so you can turn up the volume with your High-Resolution Audio files without a loss in sound quality.

<b>Expert balance for powerful performance</b>
For long-lasting, high performance, the TA-A1ES intelligently controls the bias by a volume position to heighten the sound quality.
