Posted in: Today's Chili
Pioneer is going to release 2 new AV amplifier models (SC-LX57, SC-2023) in late July.
They feature “Direct Energy HD Amp” that is capable of supplying high-revving power simultaneously while playing multiple channels so that they can play powerful sounds. They can play high-resolution sounds like WAV, FLAC, Apple loss-less, and AIFF and also play DSD file with a very high sound quality.
In particular, because of its new “Audio Scaler” functionality, “SC-LX57″ can upgrade all 2ch digital contents including CD and 96.kHz high-resolution sounds onto 192kHz/32bit and 176.4kHz/32bit. In addition to that, it has “SABRE 32bit Ultra DAC” manufactured by ESS Technology, Inc, which enables “SC-LX57″ to play rich bass sounds.
Both models are compatible with iPad/iPhone/iPod touch/iPod nano, MHL, HDMI terminal, AirPlay and wireless connection.
