The Home Smart Audio integrated amplifier, which the American company Dense\u00a0presented\u00a0as a project on Kickstarter, will fit perfectly on an A4 paper sheet – there will also be room.\u00a0This is the second product in the Dense portfolio – we\u00a0wrote about the\u00a0company\u00a0‘s debut\u00a0with the Dense Adapt Reference DAC headphone amplifier.<\/p>\n

Dense Home Smart Audio also features an on-board DAC, an ESS chipset that receives signal from two USB-C connectors.\u00a0That being said, the USB to HDMI conversion function makes Dense Home Smart Audio a worthy TV partner.<\/p>\n

The audio amplifier is ready to receive either via Bluetooth or analog RCA input.\u00a0The output signal is provided in both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) versions.<\/p>\n

Dense Home Smart Audio endpoints are built on Burr-Brown components.\u00a0These are class D modules, so the manufacturer emphasized the economy, and therefore the environmental friendliness of the new product.<\/p>\n

Dense Home Smart Audio delivers 35W in each stereo channel or 70W in bridged mode.\u00a0In the latter case, the Dense StereoConnect function makes it easy to connect two amplifiers in a double power stereo version.\u00a0The novelty is ready to work as a headphone amplifier.<\/p>\n

The top panel of the Dense Home Smart Audio aluminum enclosure is made of Corian acrylic artificial stone.\u00a0Available in Limestone White or Rock Black.\u00a0The project has already raised more than a third of the required $ 10,000 on Kickstarter.\u00a0However, there is still time to complete the project.<\/p>\n
