Absolute Integrated Amplifier
- Positioning: An integrated amplifier that combines preamplification with power amplification for dynamic performance.
- Description: Offers ultra-quiet dual mono amplification stages with an innovative polarization circuit for agile transient response and detailed soundstaging. Compared to the more focused CD player or preamplifier, its combination of control and power provides comprehensive functionality.
Heritage SACD Player
- Positioning: A high-end SACD player in the Heritage line aimed at audiophiles seeking analog purity.
- Description: Uses a dedicated D&M SACD mechanism and advanced DAC architecture to deliver pure analog sound reproduction with phase inversion options.
