CH Precision I1 Integrated Amplifier

The I1 is a high-performance audio component designed for ultimate flexibility and exceptional sound quality. It comes equipped with four digital inputs (CH-Link HD, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and TosLink), with the option to expand by adding a second identical digital input board. Alongside these digital inputs, the I1 features one set of balanced and two pairs of single-ended analog inputs, offering versatile connectivity options for various audio systems.

For those seeking even greater functionality, the I1 can be upgraded with a network streaming-capable Ethernet input and an asynchronous USB input card for easy connection to computer-based audio sources. All digital inputs are fully MQA compatible, and the latest proprietary PEtER spline filtering and updated DSP ensure highly accurate and musically natural digital decoding. The discrete, fully-complementary analog input boards can be further customized with additional internal circuit blocks to convert RCA analog inputs into current-sensing MC phono-inputs, with support for various replay EQ settings, including RIAA, eRIAA, Decca, Columbia, EMI, and Teldec (DGG) curves.

Additionally, the I1 includes a Clock-Sync board, allowing it to sync with external master clocks or function as the system master with its internal clock. Inside the I1, a massive 1000VA transformer and 100,000uF reservoir capacitance ensure ample power for driving demanding loudspeakers, delivering a 100 watt/channel output into 8 Ohms with ease, even under challenging load conditions.
