Trinnov Amethyst HiFi Preamplifier and Streamer
TRINNOV’S HIGH-END STEREO FLAGSHIP
The Amethyst preamplifier is Trinnov’s flagship high-end stereo product. On a single chassis, it combines an audiophile preamp, active crossovers, high-quality 24 bit/192kHz DACs, a network renderer, and the world’s most advanced speaker/room correction: the Trinnov Optimizer.
The Amethyst includes an 12 input preamplifier with built-in Speaker/Room Optimizer, Trinnov’s innovative HybriD Phono Preamp, a Network Renderer, a 24 bit/192kHz DA Converter and a 2-way intelligent, active crossover engine. It also features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for simplified operations making it the perfect centerpiece of any traditional or modern HIFI Installation.
Highly accurate, transparent and revealing as a pure preamp, the Amethyst elevates stereo playback through its state-of-the-art room correction system that reveals the best of your loudspeakers with incredible focus and imaging stability. High-resolution audio sources, up to 192kHz, are processed at their native sampling rates, never converted or down sampled.
With 64-bit floating-point processing, true signal integrity is assured, producing resolution greater than 320dB and enabling digital volume control without any loss of resolution. As the heart of your system, the Amethyst accommodates a total of twelve digital and analog sources, even including an analog phono stage for LP playback.
STRAIGHTFORWARD AUTOMATED PROCESS
Setup is guided by the Optimizer’s calibration wizard, which enables system optimization in a matter of minutes.
The wizard creates five presets with different acoustic flavors to get you started. Further fine-tuning is available through a deep set of additional tools, with up to 29 individual presets available for saving custom settings.
