High-Quality Audio Technologies
Employed integrated amplifier
The JENO Engine transmits and processes audio
signals in full digital and with minimal jitter from
the input stage to the power stage. GaN-FET
Driver for the linear speaker drive with high-
speed lossless switching, and ADCT (Active
Distortion Cancelling Technology) cancels the
noise precisely are implemented to achieve the
energetic dynamic sound with the superior drive
function.
The low-noise and clear sound can be provided
by the various technologies such as LAPC that
conducts speaker load adaptive phase calibration
for ideal gain and phase characteristics of any
type of connected speakers.
Low-noise power supply with high
responsive ability to the audio signal
“Advanced Speed Silent Power Supply” is
embedded for high-speed lossless switching
and noise reduction. The unique power supply
function can supply the stable power with the
lowest noise by the high speed switching feature
for the better resolution of audio signal in full
digital amplifier.
And this unit improves the potential of JENO
Engine for the better playback.
The unique digital technology
“Intelligent PHONO EQ” improves
the potential for playback of
records.
”Accurate EQ Curve” which has a hybrid
component for analogue and digital circuits
enables the equaliser process with high-precise
and S/N. And this unit supports the various
equaliser curve other than RIAA for accurate
playback.
“Crosstalk Canceller” function which measures
the crosstalk and optimises it with DSP, and
“PHONO Response Optimiser” function reduces
the resonances on the cartridge are implemented
to reproduce the audio signal from the record
groove.
