YBA Genesis ia3 Integrated Amplifier/DAC

This latest range of products from YBA is simply beautiful - with a black acrylic full length panel housing the display, the overall cabinet styling is similar to the Passion series. The same exceptional heat-sinking has been used on the new power amplifier and looks stunning in its black brushed aluminium finish. With the market embracing Bluetooth, thanks to virtually every device now including this technology, YBA made the decision to produce a dedicated Bluetooth range .... Genesis. With a power amplifier, pre amplifier and integrated amplifier, Genesis is utilising the most advanced Bluetooth technology available. There is such a large array of devices used these days for music storage, and virtually all of them including incorporating a Bluetooth streaming option, Genesis has been developed to give you the best results possible from this very convenient way of listening to music. When seeking out an integrated amplifier to give you everything you might want at a pleasantly affordable price, coupled with exceptional build quality and superb sonic performance, the new Genesis IA3 has to be a top contender. In addition to the Bluetooth connectivity supporting the latest aptX transfer protocol, the amplifier is also equipped with one S/PDIF (75 Ohm) COAXIAL digital input plus USB (24/192KHz). Digital inputs automatically adjust to any of the standard digital audio data rates from 16/44.1KHz to 24/192KHz. To use the USB input it is necessary to install a driver which can be downloaded from the download area of this site, if the accompanying CD is misplaced. Two RCA and one balanced add to the available inputs. The video input also has a bypass feature. The pre-out provides for the addition of a separate power amplifier, an active subwoofer or perhaps a pair of active speakers. A digital output has also been added.
