Connecting the S5 transformer coupled RCA output to the A21 balanced input
S5 transformer coupled RCA output can also act as a real balanced source, and thus it can be connected to A21 balanced input.

Remote control unit
Audial remote control is a unique product of this kind, in a machined case. It is also “unified”, in a way the one unit works with all Audial devices supporting remote control operation.

Amplifier A20
In April, Audial will come with a second release for 2021, a stereo amplifier A20. As opposed to its predecessor, Model A, the A20 brings five inputs, conventional 45 kOhm input impedance, revised exterior with LCD, and revised Audial-made copper binding posts as a standard feature.

Cermet potentiometers
Audial Model A uses cermet potentiometer as premium part. The reason is simple: cermet is sonically clearly superior to any other potentiometer type. Cermet potentiometers are still however relatively unknown, so more information follows.

Sweet spot of amplifier power
According to the common wisdom, the relation between the amplifier power and its sound quality may look like the relation of equivalence. “The more the better.” The truth is, the best sound quality is associated with certain working points, which also implies certain power. Insisting on (often redundant) power, actually can and does compromise the sonic properties.

Model A, the first appearance
The first Audial amplifier, Model A, is here. With power set to 25 W per channel (50 W option is also available), Model A is intended to drive medium and high efficiency speakers (86 dB / 1 W / 1 m and more). It is designed to bring the highest sonic performance, for modest price.

Gainclone, where has it gone?
During the previous seven years Audial released six DACs, which established it as a “DAC specialist”. It happened that way, because one decade ago the digital source was generally the most misunderstood and most missing part of the audio chain. And in many ways, Audial DACs moved the limits of digital sources. And now the time for Audial amplifier has come.
