About the A100 Titan
The Synthesis Art in Music A100 Titan is a high-end integrated valve amplifier delivering a minimum of 100 watts per channel from 8 KT66 tubes arranged in a push-pull ultra-linear configuration. It features a newly designed custom output transformer made with Hi-Grade Iron-Silicon, providing a rich soundstage with authority and precise, faithful sound reproduction. The amplifier includes an onboard 24-bit/192kHz Wolfson WM8740 DAC with USB and S/PDIF inputs, enabling high-resolution digital audio playback. All tubes except the KT66 have DC stabilized heater circuits to minimize hum noise. The amplifier is built with premium components selected for sonic quality and reliability, housed in a stylish anodized black aluminum chassis with vibration-isolating rubber feet. It supports multiple analog line inputs and digital inputs, making it versatile for various audio sources. Technical specifications include a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz ±0.5dB, distortion of 1% at 1kHz max power, signal-to-noise ratio over 90dB A-weighted, and an input sensitivity of approximately 150-200mV RMS. The amplifier weighs around 40 kg and measures approximately 410x520x235 mm.
