CORDA SYMPHONY

Balanced ground offers most of the advantages of a true balanced headphone setup without the need of balanced connections. It can be used with any conventional dynamic headphone.

The amplification section is build around LM6171 opamps biased into class-A. For the output stages BUF634 buffer amplifiers are used. These integrated circuits are very fast and thus allows the output signals to follow the input signals very closely. The amp is DC-coupled and any capacitors found in the signal path are of the highest quality polypropylen and polystyrol.

An extra feature of the SYMPHONY is a high quality built-in DAC. Digital data are accepted through optical or coaxial S/PDIF inputs or through the USB-port that can be easily connected to any computersystem. Never did your PC sound that good!

The digital receiver section is based on the DIR9001 receiver chip. Instead of the usual PPL-settings we implemented a mode of high jitter reduction. Digital input signals are decoupled using separate input trigger circuitry.

The DA-conversion section is based on the newest top-of-the-line Wolfson WM8741. This chip offers 9 different digital filter modes that can be selected by the user. Sound thus can be adapted to personal taste.

A very extensive powersupply, using three separate transformers and a large number of power-regulators assures the best working conditions for any part of the circuitry.

The amp is a true eye-catcher. Maybe not everybody likes its looks, but the anodized aluminium enclosure is far from the conventional box design that characterizes most other amps. The SYMPHONY has a face and a voice of its own!
