B.audio&#8217;s patented SJR (Source Jitter Removal) technology, which effectively combats jitter, optimizing the digital-to-analog conversion process.\u00a0The fully balanced preamp section features a switchable resistive volume control.\u00a0Like all B.audio products, the Alpha One integrated amplifier has no coupling capacitors in the signal path and uses multi-terminal servo circuits operating outside the signal path to provide a constant reference voltage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

amplifier circuitry is derived from B.audio&#8217;s power amplifiers and uses a complex topology with local feedback at critical locations, thereby, B.audio claims, significantly reducing dynamic distortion.\u00a0As a result, Alpha One takes advantage of the Class AB output stage while providing &#8220;perfect linearity of operation.&#8221;\u00a0The amplifier is implemented in a \u201cdual mono\u201d concept and provides power of 200 W when operating into a load with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and 120 W at 8 ohms, combined with the ability to produce a high output current.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/161_techweek.webp\" alt=\"\u00a0 Network integrated amplifier
