AD/DA Converter Antelope Amári 2-Channel 384 kHz Mastering-Grade

Designed for audiophiles looking for a superlative listening experience at home, the Antelope A M A RI is a reference-grade AD/DA converter. The unit offers everything you expect from Antelope, such as high-quality conversion and Antelope's renowned clock technology. Boasting balanced and unbalanced connections, the unit works equally well in professional and audiophile audio environments.

Whether you use the XLR-1/4" combo inputs or the unbalanced RCA connections, you can achieve PCM conversion at sample rates and resolutions up to 384 kHz / 24-bit. The AMÁRI uses 4 CS43198 chips per channel (eight in total ) to capture every nuance of the stereo image while maintaining the integrity of the music's depth (front-to-back image) at the same time. The unit offers 138 dB of dynamic range to boot.

Digital connections can be secured by AES, coaxial S/PDIF, TOSLINK, and USB 3.1 (Gen 1, Type B connections). Although the unit provides its own powerful clock, you can synchronize it with other sources thanks to two BNC inputs – one for all types of external clocks and one for the Antelope's Atomic 10M clock. AMÁRI's 64-bit clock supports PCM rates up to 384 kHz and DSD rates up to 256. DSD playback occurs via PCM conversion (DoP) and applies only to the D/A side.

Two headphone outputs offer their own DAC architecture for optimal performance. These headphone outputs can be used with balanced 1/4" or demanding audiophile.
