S6 Black Edition Key Features
- Dual Mono Amplification: Enhanced for optimal soundstage and separation.
- Cathode Capacitor-Less Technology: Eliminates phase shift and low-frequency coloration, achieving a rich, natural sound.
- Advanced Input Selection Circuit: Micro relays and Return GND technology minimize noise and maximize channel separation.
- Integrated DAC3 Module: 4 analog and 3 digital inputs (USB up to PCM 384kHz and DSD256, Toslink, and SPDIF) for versatile connectivity.
Revolutionized Sound Quality
The S6 Black Edition introduces Cathode Capacitor-Less technology, removing traditional electrolytic capacitors from the power valves’ cathodes. This breakthrough in design maintains the integrity of the low frequencies, providing a clean, detailed response down to the lowest harmonics. By operating entirely in Class A with an ultralinear 20% tap, the S6 produces a sound that is richly dynamic and immersive, reproducing subtle micro-details with enhanced clarity.
Optimized Power Management
Featuring a 7-section winding transformer, the S6 Black Edition is built to drive demanding modern loudspeakers, delivering a consistent 40W output for precise, effortless audio reproduction. The dedicated negative grid voltage power supply enhances control and stability, while carefully positioned polypropylene capacitors in the power supply ensure smooth transients and expansive dynamics.
Exclusive Gold Lion Valves
Equipped with premium Gold Lion tubes, including two ECC83 triodes for preamplification and six KT77 tubes in parallel for output, the S6 Black Edition is fine-tuned for peak technical and acoustic performance. These valves are matched to deliver a lifelike sound experience, with an open, vibrant presentation free from distortion or feedback.
