Canor Virtus A3 Integrated Amplifier

All-In-One – Phono Preamplifier, Headphone Amplifier, Integrated Hybrid Amplifier and DAC

Unique amplifier topology – Brings the benefits of superior Class A audio performance and its linearity with the benefits of lower-Class AB power dissipation.

Touch screen control – A revolutionary method for interacting with a CANOR device.

• Four products in the single housing – a Hybrid Power Amplifier of class A/AB, a Phono Preamplifier, a Headphone Amplifier, and a DAC.
• The analogue and digital signal paths are designed in dual mono configuration with fully independent multi-stage regulated power supplies for each channel.
• A fully discrete Phono Preamplifier supports both MM and MC cartridges.
• A discrete fully symmetrical balanced headphone amplifier stage for both Single-Ended and Balanced headphone outputs is included.
• The Virtus A3 also offers Class A Single-ended and Balanced Preamplifier line outputs to facilitate additional external Power Amplifiers supporting Active speaker or Sub-Woofer systems.
• A custom-designed highly efficient cooling system using heat pipe heatsinks.
• The control knob is securely housed in a precision double-row bearing.
• A touch display located in the control knob provides easy and intuitive access to all device features and settings
