Its line input can directly connect to the audio output terminal of CD player, portable audio player or DAC. The SRM-252S has a simple design that excels in sound quality employing the carefully selected newest high-voltage transistors and low-noise FETs. The output stage featuring the emitter-follower configuration reinforces the driving performance and also realised the smooth sound quality. Moreover, the class-A amplification throughout the stages with no coupling capacitors reproduces exhaustively the finest nuance of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the SRM-252S includes a class-A DC amplifier in a compact CD jacket size case, the internal heat is effectively dissipated through the chassis of aluminium extrusion material to improve the reliability over a long period of time.
