The Asty Digital is our first “NTIM” – “new technology integrated amplifier” – device .
It is a world class 70wpc integrated amplifier with digital and analog inputs and outputs to satisfy the new digital
devices, also, it can accept all of the old equipments like turntables (w/external phono preamp), tuners, etc. Along
with listening to CDs, it can now download audio, stream audio across networks and , with iPods, drop audio into your
pockets. It is an integrated amplifier, iPod dock, digital-to-analogue converter and music file player, ombined with
the superb Monrio audio quality.
The Asty Digital has an analogue heart. Its power output stage derived from the well known Asty integrated amplifier
with its long established design philosophies and Monrio audio quality. In addition to the audio quality, it is digital
versatility that sets it as one of the first integrate amp in its category. Its comprehensive coverage of audio bases
includes audio formats as well as audio sources. So along with all analog audio inputs, and iRadio streams at multiple
bit rates, Asty Digital can play audio files in MP3, Windows Media–formatted content, AAC, Apple Lossless (from your
iPod), FLAC and WAV formats. The Asty Digital should be taken into account by those looking to improve computerbased
or streaming audio to a “high-end” performance level because it is an high-end integrated amplifier. Asty
Digital, Whether it’s digital or analog, is engineered for today's listening way. Radio station and compressed MP3 files
take on new flavour through the Asty Digital.
The Asty Digital has 7 total inputs, 6 analog, 1 digital.
One USB input for your computer plus 6 analogy inputs for docking station, CD players, tape decks, tuners or phono
preamp. The Asty Digital most important feature is the onboard Crystal DAC. It’s a 24-bit/192 kHz Digital-to-Analog
converter, which convert any digital source to the performance of a high-end CD player. It also includes a “direct”
analog input bypass that allows the use of the Asty Digital in a Home Theatre System as two channels surround
system. You have to take the left and right “pre out” from your receiver or processor and connect to the “Direct”
bypass on the Asty Digital. A selector switch on the front panel (and on the remote control) converts from Line input
to direct bypass. In this way your processor uses the L&r surround section for the Asty Digital, leaving the Home
Theatre amplifier to push only the centre and front speakers, making the processor, or receiver, more efficient and
less stressed.
The Asty Digital is the right way to add a personal computer to your existing system.
