Features of the Amari
What makes the Amari truly special, besides the outstanding 384 kHz, 24-bit conversion and clocking, are the two powerful headphone amplifiers. Even headphones with sky-high impedance are no problem for the Amari. The amps have separate volume controls and a limiter function. The A/B monitoring allows you to compare mixes over two independent pairs of monitors. On the rear, there are two high-quality analogue inputs and outputs as well as AES/EBU, Toslink and S/PDIF inputs and outputs. The Amari can be synchronised with an external clock generator via the word clock inputs, which are also found on the rear.
