The new Mark II version contains many improvements in the digital part, mainly thanks to a pair of Analog Devices AD1955 DACs with built-in support for PCM up to 24 bit/192 kHz and DSD64. The USB input has also been significantly upgraded thanks to the XMOS controller, which provides the highest sound quality when directly connected to a computer.
The YBA Genesis IA3 is an integrated amplifier that can give the listener everything they could wish for at a reasonable price, while at the same time offering exceptional workmanship, excellent sound and the widest switching capabilities. In addition to Bluetooth connectivity, which supports the aptX data transfer protocol, the amplifier is also equipped with a high-end DAC with coaxial input and USB (24/192 kHz) and coaxial output.
The A200S fits perfectly into any Hi-Fi system, offering one XLR input and five RCA inputs, one pair of speaker connectors, and a pre-output for use with a separate power amplifier or active speakers. The A200S can also be used in a special bypass mode as a pure power amplifier. Everything is easy to control without getting up from the couch with our classic YBA remote control.
The YBA Heritage A200 model received five pairs of analog RCA connectors for sources and one balanced XLR input. In addition, there is a built-in DAC with optical input and USB on board. For wireless connection, you can purchase a Bluetooth 4.1 module. The converter is based on the top-end AK4490 EQ chip with support for PCM files with a sampling rate of up to 384 kHz and DSD64/128/256. There is also a connector for connecting an external power amplifier.
The massive front panel of the YBA Heritage A100, like the rest of the body, is made of aluminum, and evokes a sense of strength and solidity of the entire structure. A volume control potentiometer, a rotary input selection knob and a small OLED screen with amber backlight on the front panel are an example of minimalism in the design of HI—FI components.
