Bel Canto C6i DAC Integrated Amplifier
Taxes & Shipping Included
The Bel Canto C6i is more than just an upgrade to the former C5i, this is a new piece with serious improvements across the board. It has plenty of power to drive a wide variety of speakers, but has seen a significant upgrade in the quality of power with Bel Canto’s custom NCore implementation. On top of that, the DAC section has jumped to another league. You’ll be very hard pressed to find another integrated amplifier at this price point with a DAC that approaches what is in the C6i. As a final note, the volume control, line-in and phono stage are now all within the analog domain. The sound is hallmark Bel Canto which is well-balanced, detailed and highly musical due to its smooth delivery.
High-Dynamic Resolution Core
HDR Core is the result of 20+ years of engineering to refine the digital to analog process, comprised of 4 major components: Ultra Low Noise Master Clocks, Asynchronous Interfaces, Advance Segment PCM1792 DAC and Dual Mode Low-Noise High Efficiency Power Supplies. HDR Core technology is fundamental to every premier Bel Canto product, creating the most realistic, open, and defined musical experience possible.
Built In Headphone Output
This low-impedance, high-output headphone amp circuit has been designed to drive any pair of high quality headphones with pristine clarity. You'll be amazed at the musical depth they bring to your headset.
Simple, Elegant Interface
Designed to be functional and simple, the dual-functioning one knob interface is a joy to use. The programmable 8 character display works with it seamlessly to access all basic functions in a few clicks. The included 36 button infrared remote allows instant command functions and display editing.
