Perfecting HDR-A took over 10 years of continuous research and development. The graph shows how it works. Path 1 is an audio signal with 90dB of dynamic range, from 0dB to 90dB. Path 2 is an audio signal with 100dB of dynamic range, from 80dB to 180dB. When paths 1 & 2 are combined, the resulting dynamic range is 180dB, from 0dB to 180dB. That’s multi-path high dynamic range audio. Multi-path HDR-A offers two major advantages over traditional single-path methods. First, it significantly reduces noise and distortion (THD+N). The imersiv D-1 achieves a remarkable 40 nanovolts of broadband noise, which is around 40 dB lower — 100 times quieter — than today’s best DAC designs. In fact, the D-1’s self-noise is 25dB below the measurement capability of today’s leading test equipment, such as the APx555B. The second advantage is untethered headroom. HDR-A technology allows us to boost high-path headroom to any level without affecting our quiescent self-noise. The D-1 provides +22dBu (10 volts) of ISO-free* headroom while maintaining its profoundly low 40nV self-noise floor. This results in a true broadband, unweighted linearity and dynamic range of 28 bits or 168dB. (*inter-sample overs or inter-sample peaks) Multi-path is the next design standard of audio architecture, from microphone to power amp, and everything in between. -

In the world of audiophiles, there is purist group militating for simplicity in tube amplification systems focusing on the use of the tube designed in the early days of tube technology: the directly heated triodes of which the most famous is the 300B. I300 is built around a simple 300B push-pull without feedback which offers unequalled musiciality of this tube. After the preamplification using an ECC82, the signal feeds a phase inverter (called Schmitt) followed by 6SN7 triodes sufficient to drive the 300B. The power supply is another strong point. In addition to the fact that each stage has its own power supply, particular care has been taken with the 300Bs themselves. As direct heated triodes, the heater is the cathode. This requires a very "clean" power supply with no less than seven separate power circuits. As for all our devices, transformers are designed and manufactured in our workshop. The one dedicated to the power supply, uses a magnetic circuit EI M6X of a design which gives a very stable operation, without noise and with a reduced overheating. The output ones use a double CV38 magnetic circuit built according to our standards. The I300 is the only integrated with such an output transformer. A design mode that allows the device to appear much more powerful than its 10W may suggest!Specifications
