The amplifier section of the blak Integrated Amplifier uses hand-selected audiophile components throughout its circuitry, including high-quality relays that ensure an accurate performance regardless of the selected input. The chosen transformers are also expertly tuned to ensure the best possible sound quality and current power available. This sophisticated internal design allows the amplifier to deliver a weighty 150W (8Ω) output, while retaining the detail and sound-staging demanded by audiophiles.
The blak Integrated Amplifier boasts sufficient inputs to cater for almost any high-end audio system. Alongside three RCA pairs, there’s also a balanced XLR pair input for superior source devices. Roksan have also transferred their expansive knowledge of analogue audio to integrate a premium Moving Magnet-compatible phono stage inside. However, where the blak shows real versatility is in the way it accommodates digital audio sources.
For ease of use, the blak Integrated Amplifier supports wireless music playback via its built-in aptX® Bluetooth module. This allows for up-to CD-quality wireless streaming from compatible laptops and smart devices. For more advanced digital media, the amplifier also boasts a USB (Type-B) digital input for playback from a computer or laptop. The advanced DAC design allows for playback of audio files up to 24-bit/192kHz (PCM) or DSD128, offering an exceptional high-resolution performance as it works.
