ASTELL & KERN ACRO CA1000T

Specifically designed for sound enthusiasts at the highest level, the ACRO CA1000T is the first audio component equipped with a triple headphone amplification system with vacuum tubes and the latest D/A converter from ESS Technologies, to which must be added an extensive range of connections capable of meeting the expectations of users wishing to build a complete High Fidelity system around the ACRO CA1000T. Thus, outputs with XLR and RCA connectors are available, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (5.0) to facilitate the connection of both external audio devices and active loudspeakers. In addition, the compact dimensions of the audio subsystem used allow the use of a redesigned circuit topology that results in a sound full of micro-information with deep, rich bass and crystal-clear highs. Another key element of the new Astell&Kern is the presence of two KORG Nutube vacuum tubes and fully balanced circuitry with the left and right channels completely separated, creating an even more natural and sweet sound. Like its predecessor, the ACRO CA1000T houses Astell&Kern's unique and sophisticated TERATON ALPHA technology inside, which minimises distortion even at very high output levels.
