The C5i DAC Integrated Amplifier powers it all,
digital analog, USB and Phono MM in one compact, powerful component. The
C5i converts any source into music while giving you an amazingly
compact, cool-running, high output, low-power-usage analog and digital
media center. The most complete integrated amplifier, Low jitter, low
noise and power isolation delivers the startling dynamics in your music.
Bel Canto’s e.One C5i DAC Integrated Amplifier
connects to your computer, CD player, turntable, cable box or game
console, and now you’ve got control of an entire media center in one
component. Compare your analog collection to your digital all through
one component. Just add a pair of speakers and the listening room is
open!
The Bel Canto C5i has an outstanding 115dB dynamic
range and our proprietary low-noise D-to-A convertors are based on our
award-winning DAC circuit design. The C5i Includes five digital inputs
including RCA, TOSLINK and one 24/96 USB input. The analog section has
one pair of RCA inputs and one pair of RCA Phono MM inputs. The core
24/192 D-to-A converters are based on our Two-Stage Master Reference
Ultra-Clock™ circuitry ensuring that jitter from any source is reduced
below the audible threshold.
The 24-bit digital volume control is completely
transparent and accurate throughout the volume range. The engineering
detail that Bel Canto is known for calls for custom 0.1% audio grade
resistors, class-A output control circuitry, and low-noise power supply
components. The heavy-gauge all-steel chassis design prevents mechanical
resonance from compromising the audio signal quality. The stereo
amplifier section is based on an elegant switching output stage that
eliminates thermal distortion mechanisms caused by changes in operating
temperature.
The front panel features a single multifunction
control knob that selects inputs and volume level for both the main
outputs and ¼” front-panel headphone jack, providing flexibility and
control with a simple user interface, easy to read display and full
remote control.
