Vincent Audio's SA-T7 preamp combines highly linear amplification with extremely low noise and excellent speed for the best possible music enjoyment. It achieves this winning combination thanks to Vincent's novel and proprietary BestPentode vacuum tube circuit technology, which is used for the first time as a standard feature together with the clever new Vimala power source coupling system for exceptionally pure audio.
Key Features:
- Amplification: typ. 13.3 dB (Volume control max. Gain);
- PCM 5100-based DAC providing 24-bit/192 kHz;
- 6H9P and 6H51P tubes.
Not only does this new technology squarely position the SA-T7 in the vanguard of tube components, the SA-T7 also has a built-in DAC. This allows you to enjoy digital sources along with analog.
Vincent asked itself the question, is it possible to improve vacuum tube technology in hi-fi equipment so that it takes a quantum leap compared to what was available before? It's probably no surprise that Vincent's answer was yes. With the SA-T7 the German company has developed a preamplifier that raises the purity of the amplification of delicate music signals to a level of authenticity never conceived of before with tubes. This was made possible with a patent pending circuit technology, which is fundamentally different from classic tube circuitry.
Analog and Digital Connections + Built-in 24/192 DAC
The SA-T7 includes connections for a wide range of audio sources, accommodating both analog and digital. Inputs consist of six stereo RCA-type connections, one Toslink optical digital connection, and one coax digital connection. The digital inputs let you enjoy two-channel audio from Blu-ray players, streamers, set-top boxes, CD players and much more. Inside the SA-T7 is a PCM 5100-based DAC providing 24-bit/192 kHz performance. It will play WAV, FLAC, APE, LPCM, MP3, ACC, AC3, and WM music files.
On the output side, the Vincent offers two stereo RCA-type preamp outputs along with one stereo RCA-type 'Record' out.
