Mark Levinson No585

摘要

Recently, parent company Harman opened a brand new electronics R&D facility in Connecticut and this new 'entry-level' amp is Mark Levinson's first integrated since 2006, when the old No383 was discontinued. Rated at 200W/8ohm, the No585 is a considerably more beefy, fully balanced Class AB design employing 12 output devices for each channel in a double mono configuration. There are digital inputs too. At the heart of the amplifier's on-board digital audio processing stage is an ESS Sabre 32-bit DAC with proprietary jitter reduction and fully balanced, discrete current-to-voltage circuitry. The USB interface allows transfer of PCM files at up to 192kHz/32-bit resolution and DSD natively at both 64 and 128fs with supplied ASIO drivers.
