The multiple stage power amplifier is built around proven technology from International Rectifier, optimized with a precision high frequency oscillator and PWM modulator. A pair of precision switching MOS-FET transistors, with super low on-resistance ensures the high frequency switching is done perfectly and with as little loss as possible. The output filters are made from quality PP capacitors and low DCR coils, converting the high power PWM signals back into detailed and smooth analogue music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore than just an Amp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe built-in D\/A converter offers real high end performance, enabled by the use of a dedicated power supply, a balanced-drive Burr-Brown PCM1794 D\/A converter, an optimized high bandwidth I\/V converter, and an analogue stage with low-Q, low pass filters. All digital inputs are upsampled to 24bit\/192kHz. This D\/A converter will upgrade any digital source - such as wired or wireless streaming from your computer or CD drive - to a high end level of detail and musical performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatility and Connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe had our eye on versatility and connectivity when designing this amplifier. The DIA-250 NPM offers not only a high resolution aptX Bluetooth streaming module,  but also a wide range of digital and analogue inputs, but also line outputs, a trigger signal for external power amplifiers, and a configurable home theater input. The HT input can turn the amplifier into a fixed level power amplifier for use in a surround setup, without compromising the sonic performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNetwork Player Module (NPM)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Network Player Module is very versatile and it can be operated in several ways; one is as an endpoint to your Roon server, controlling the module through Roon software enabling local music, access to internet radio, Tidal etc. Another way of using the module is through an APP that will access to local media files by UPnPDLNA plus various streaming services such as Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz.\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x 250W@8ohm \/ 2x 500W@4ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass D output stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in 24bit\/192kHz D\/A converter with upsampling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoax, optical and asynchronous USB digital input up to 24bit\/192kHz, optical up to 24bit\/96kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eaptX Bluetooth 4.0 receiver for all your streaming applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts digital streaming directly from Apple iPad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMQA (Roon), AAC, AIFF, MP3, FLAC, WAV, WMA, Apple Lossless, OGG, Monkeys, Supports gapless playback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNonmagnetic enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect function;
