The S-3 is a ground-breaking design and this ultimate combination of
modern new design and time proven concepts, will deliver music and
superb sound performance that you would expect from an Ayon product with
maximum home audio flexibility. The S-3 includes a network player,
analog preamplifier and a world class D/A-converter that gives the
highest obtainable performance.

Features & Design

Full-featured Network Music Player/DAC/Preamp
Class-A triode vacuum-tube output stage for single-ended & balanced operation


Signal Path
We believe that the simplest circuits work
best together with the shortest signal path. That is why our
pre-amplifiers to date have used single-ended pure class-A circuitry.
The shorter the signal path is, the less possibility of sonic
degradation from various sources, including the wire itself. Even on the
circuit boards, the copper traces are kept to a very minimum length.
The completely redesigned circuit board provides a more straightforward
and direct approach to the signal paths.



Network Player

    Inputs                                                                                                                               

Power Supply
The power supplies have been
further refined with new components and enhanced AC line noise
filtration. Separate power transformer windings and filters provide
total isolation between the input and output stage which makes this a
pure power source and it is a critical attribute for a 6H30 output
stage. We also use electrolytic capacitors with much larger storage
capacity to make up for the loss in filtering when using resistors in
lieu of inductors.

  • Dual R-Core / Low noise – insulated power transformers for digital & analog separated
  • Innovative power supply provides a high speed energy delivery on transients
    Separate and isolated power supplies over each stage of amplification
  • AC power line filter to avoid noise and hash from entering into the unit.
  • Dual tube rectification for 6H30 analog output stage 
  • Choke with Film caps 
  • 10 separate voltage regulators

Components
The
type of parts used therefore must have a synergistic relationship to
the circuit they are placed in. It is this relationship of which type of
part to use where, that ranks our products apart from the mass.

  • Selected, premium quality passive components used in all applications
  • High speed & high quality audiophile grade coupling capacitors
  • High quality Special tube sockets with gold pins
  • Capacitors ( MKP 2% )
  • High quality – RCA & XLR jack
  • Gold-plated industrial grade PCB

Mechanical Construction
The
high grade aluminum chassis impart a richer, more lustrous tonality
with a cleaner back-ground and less hash and grain. All brushed
anodized anti-vibration-resonance and non-magnetic chassis’s are fully
hand assembled to insure the highest level of craftsmanship.

  • AC phase polarity control indicator
  • The aluminium feet are resonance absorbing types
  • Metal remote commander
  • Chassis finish: black / chrome
