This is a dual-mono digital amplifier equipped with two Yamaha YDA138 digital amplifier ICs.
It's a multi-functional model with features like a USB-DAC, three-input switching, electronic volume and tone control, headphone amplifier, loudness control, and gain boost, making it a fun amplifier to play with.
It was originally developed as a completely in-house design as a successor to the Lepai LP-2020A+, which we previously sold, inheriting the functionality and sonic characteristics of the LP-2020A+. However, after collecting feedback from the sale of a prototype batch, we changed it to a pure-line concept that takes advantage of the characteristics of the dual-mono configuration, further improving the sound quality and operability!
The sixth batch will be available on May 7, 2021.
[Changes from Lot 5 to Lot 6]
