Esoteric AZ-1 integrated,dac .Phono and clock

The Esoteric AZ-1 Integrated Amp , Dac ,Reclocker and Phono Stage
this Demo unit from a Esoteric ...used at a show .... color is silver

This is an amazing sounding integrated ...amazing bottom end and superb midrange with clean detailed upper extension ! We are running it on $32,000.00 Kef Blades and it makes them Rock ! The phono stage is one of the best we have ever heard also !

Esoteric AZ-1 Digital Amplifier. The AZ-1 has a DAC, reclocker, line stage, MM phono stage and analog switching amp all into one. The AZ-1 features high precision D/A conversion and clock processing technology which evolved from their P-01 transport and D-01 mono-block D/A converters. The AZ-1 provides high end Class D power amplification and a very natural sound with excellent resolution, imaging, density, and musicality.The AZ-1 integrated amplifier also has a word sync out terminal to synchronize its master clock operation to any optional device. This synchronization between components improves the systems playback imaging, signal clarity, staging and transparency. This results in improved audio and video reproduction. This unit is also equipped with WBT-0735 double pole speaker terminals for secure and high quality speaker cable connections. WBT is an engineering innovator based in Germany whose products are used worldwide to provide better signal contact between amplifiers, speakers and other connected devices. High efficiency class "D" digital power amplifier for pure sound quality. The AZ-1 features high precision D/A conversion and clock processing technology which evolved from our flagship models P-01 transport and D-01 mono-block D/A converters. The AZ-1 also features a high efficiency WB transformer for its power component, providing very low current loss offering excellent instantaneous "power on demand. The AZ-1 provides high end Class D power amplification and a very natural sound with excellent resolution, imaging, density, and musicality. WORD SYNC OUT terminal The AZ-1 integrated amplifier is equipped with a WORD SYNC OUT terminal to synchronize its master clock operation to any optional device (Such as the SZ-1 or the AZ-1 ), having a WORD SYNC IN connector. The master clock in the AZ-1 outputs a signal accurate to ±1 ppm. This synchronization between components improves the systems playback imaging, signal clarity, staging and transparency. This results in improved audio and video reproduction. i.LINK terminal The AZ-1 can connect to the UZ-1 (or other i.Link equipped devices), by using i.LINK (AUDIO S400) terminals. i.LINK connection enables digital signal transmission of multi-channel Super Audio CD and DVD Audio tracks. This "jitter less", signal transmission is supported by ESOTERIC's new flow-rate-control technology which contributes to a natural and upgraded sound quality. ( Rear panel) WBT speaker connection terminals The AZ-1 is equipped with WBT-0735 double pole speaker terminals for secure and high quality speaker cable connections. WBT is an engineering innovator based in Germany whose products are used worldwide to provide better signal contact between amplifiers, speakers and other connected devices. Phono input terminal The AZ-1 features a conventional phono input terminal for excellent vinyl reproduction from analog turntables.
