QUAD Integrated Amplifier USB/DAC Built-in Vena/G (Lancaster Gray)

【Voltage Compatibility】 When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction. 【Plug Type】 Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type). Please use a conversion adapter if necessary. 【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】 A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements. A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage. Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product. 【Liability】 We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer. An updated model of the integrated amplifier "Vena" with new features and improved acoustic performance. The Vena II looks identical to the original Vena, but has significant technological upgrades. The digital audio circuit has been improved and the Cirrus Logic DAC chip used in the Vena has been replaced with the ESS Saber32 ES9018K2M DAC chip in the Vena II. This allows Vena II to leverage the 32-bit chip performance of ESS technology, achieving ultra-low noise and high dynamic range at the same time. The SS Saber32 ES9018K2M DAC chip has excellent performance, but the basic design is important for it to be effective. Vena II incorporates a dedicated headphone amplifier with current feedback circuitry and high slew rate of gain bandwidth to dynamically and sensitively drive all types of headphones. Vena II's analog stage has also been significantly improved. Like the Vena, it is equipped with a class AB power amplifier designed based on QUAD's many years of research. Additionally, the Vena II has an upgraded power supply with a new 200VA toroidal transformer with 2x15000uF reservoir capacity (30000uF total). This allows for excellent dynamic range while easily driving any speaker system. QUAD considers exterior design to be one of the important elements. The Vena II's compact 313mm body is designed to allow the amp to blend seamlessly into a variety of environments. The amp's dapper design comes in QUAD's classic Lancaster Gray and Silver Metallic options as standard options. In addition, there are four types of premium finishes in which Classic Lancaster Gray is wrapped in two types of lacquered wood (Sapele Mahogany/High Gloss Black), allowing you to choose from a wide range of situations. VenaII is compatible with all types of playback devices (analog records and CDs, digital streaming and high-resolution files), and is a system that easily enables attractive high-fidelity sound from a diverse collection of contemporary music. ◆Specifications explanation ・Type integrated amplifier ・Power output 45W/ch @8Ω ・THD＋NPre-amplifier 0.002% or less / Power-amplifier 0.005% or less (30W, 8Ω) ・Frequency characteristics 20 Hz to 20kHz (+/- 0.5dB) ・Sensitivity 450mV (line-level) / 4.1mV (MM phono) ・Input impedance 10kΩ (line-level)/47kΩ/100pF (MM phono) ・S/N ratio Pre-amplifier 110dB or more (A correction) / Power-amplifier 108dB or more (A correction) ・DAC chip ESS Saber32 ES9018K2M ・Sampling rate PCM 384kHz/DSD256 (USB-typeB)/PCM 192kHz (Optical / Coaxial) ・Input terminals 2 x RCA/1 x MM phono/2 x optical/1 x coaxial/1 x USB TypeB/Bluetooth ・Output terminal 1× RCA pre-out/1× optical/1× coaxial ・Power supply voltage 100V 50/60Hz ・Power consumption 200W ・Dimensions (W x H x D): Black High-Gross/Sapel-Mahogany = 318 mm x 115 mm x 320 mm, Silver/Lancaster-Grey = 301 mm x 95 mm x 320 mm *Both include terminals and legs. ・Weight 7.5kg (Black High-Gross/Sapel-Mahogany) 6.1kg (Silver/Lancaster-Grey)
