- Does it have a built-in DAC?
- No. It is an analog integrated amplifier, so a CD player, TV or streamer needs its own digital-to-analog converter or analog outputs.
- Can I connect a turntable?
- Yes, if your turntable has a moving-magnet cartridge and the amp's phono input is used. Turntables without a built-in phono stage plug straight in.
- Does it come with a remote?
- No. Volume and input selection are done on the front panel.
- How does it compare with a home theater receiver?
- It is stereo only. A receiver adds HDMI switching, surround decoding and room calibration, while this amp focuses on two-channel music.
- What speakers suit it?
- Most 4- to 8-ohm bookshelf and floorstanding speakers work well. Very low-sensitivity or hard-to-drive speakers may want more power.
- Can I add a subwoofer?
- Only through the speaker-level outputs if your subwoofer accepts speaker-level input. There is no dedicated subwoofer output.
