Versatile, compact amplifier for both digital and analog needs
The E40 combines the digital and analog worlds, so traditional vinyl lovers and people who enjoy modern computer audio can both have fun with this one.
Despite the powerful discrete output stages and high-quality linear power supply, this little powerhouse does not even occupy an A4 sheet of paper in terms of surface area. It has 40 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, which can be delivered from the massive speaker connections, which accept either banana plugs or cables without contracts.
Four inputs are available:
* two analog line inputs
* an MM input for your record player
* a digital USB input for connecting e.g. computer, tablet or smartphone.
It is also possible to connect an external power stage or subwoofer via the stereo line level pre-out outputs. As an added bonus, the E40 has a very good headphone output.
"The E40 puts to bed the notion that a flooded marketplace produces little more than shades of grey, and that there are real companies out there, doing real work to truly bring High-End sound to everyone."

"The small chassis may look a bit plain and industrial, but the sound that comes out of it is huge, with a natural yet punchy delivery of your favorite music. It may not have many digital inputs (only USB), or a huge amount of analogue inputs, it may not have fancy tone controls, but it delivers pure Class AB power that just gets out of the way and allows you to sit back and enjoy the music. What it lacks in features and connectivity it makes up for in sound quality and space saving."
