The 150i is a compact integrated amplifier with big attitude. It has been designed with precision engineering using the latest in technological advances to ensure seamless integration into any system. The 150i won't disappoint.

The optional internal 24-bit/192kHz Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC) and Moving Magnet/Moving Coil (MM/MC) Phono Preamplifier modules ensure complete integration of digital source components (such as network music servers and set-top digital receivers), as well as turntables, into a high-performance system.

The Eloquence 150i stereo integrated amplifier is the perfect partner for the CDt Compact Disc Transport when you choose to add the DAC module.
