The manufacturer presents it as its first desktop integrated; it measures 160 × 96.6 × 42.5 mm and weighs 625 g, in a solid aluminium chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Anni is part of the Qutest range and, in Chord Electronics' intentions, complements the Qutest DAC and the Huei phono stage in a desktop system that brings together digital and analogue sources. To stack the three units the manufacturer offers the QSS (Qutest Stand System) modular rack. The amplifier is aimed at high-performance headphones, desktop monitors and high-resolution audio sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eULTIMA circuit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Anni uses the ULTIMA circuit topology, proprietary to Chord Electronics, with dual feed-forward error correction, active with both headphones and loudspeakers. Chord describes it as its next-generation ULTIMA technology, brought here to headphones and compact loudspeakers. According to the manufacturer this technology allows any headphone load to be driven, with amplification that is error-monitored and compensated at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe power stage runs in Class AB with sliding bias and is fed by a high-frequency switch-mode circuit. Chord states harmonic distortion of 0.02 %, a signal-to-noise ratio of -92 dB, a noise floor of -110 dB and a frequency response from 5 Hz to 60 kHz within -3 dB. The external power supply is rated at 15 V and 6 A.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOutputs, inputs and controls\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two headphone outputs, one 3.5 mm and one 6.35 mm (¼-inch), so that two people can listen together. For loudspeakers there are outputs for 4 mm banana connectors. There are two line-level inputs, on unbalanced RCA sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume knob on the fascia also acts as the selector between the two line inputs. A two-stage gain control for loudspeakers gives more latitude when matching different desktop monitors. The switch-mode power supply is included, with a 1.5 m cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePower output: 10 W into 8 Ω.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInputs: 2 line-level, unbalanced RCA.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHeadphone outputs: 1 × 3.5 mm and 1 × 6.35 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLoudspeaker outputs: 4 mm banana connectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePower stage: Class AB with sliding bias, ULTIMA dual feed-forward topology.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHarmonic distortion: 0.02 %.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: -92 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNoise floor: -110 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 5 Hz - 60 kHz (-3 dB).\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLoudspeaker gain: two-stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 160 × 96.6 × 42.5 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight: 625 g.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFinish: black.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncluded: 15 V 6 A switch-mode power supply, 1.5 m cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chord Electronics Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56560443883864,"sku":"CHOELEANNI-BL","price":1837.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/files\/Chord-Electronics-QUTEST-RANGE-.001.webp?v=1768811068","url":"https:\/\/videosell.de\/products\/chord-anni","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
