An amplifier that satisfies the serious audiophile

This ensures you get powerful, cool, quiet and efficient operation every time.

The DAC itself in the RS520 is an ESS Saber ES9038PRO DAC, recognized as the best in the business. It delivers an incredibly low THD+N of -122 dB and a dynamic range of a whopping 140 dB, ensuring that every nuance of your music is reproduced with the highest precision and richness of detail. It provides an absolutely fantastic listening experience.

Premium construction for maximum sound quality
