Emotiva TA-1 Stereo Preamp DAC Tuner With Integrated Amplifier
The BasX TA1 enables you to experience the flexibility and superb sound quality you can achieve with separate audiophile components at a surprisingly affordable price. The TA1 combines a high performance stereo preamplifier and a high quality stereo amplifier in a single chassis.
The preamplifier section of the TA1 includes a stereo FM tuner, inputs for line level analog sources, a built-in DAC with plenty of digital inputs for all of your digital audio sources, including a high-resolution asynchronous USB input and a built-in AptX HD capable Bluetooth receiver, and a high performance phono preamp that supports both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. The amplifier section features true audiophile quality Class A/B output circuitry that delivers plenty of power to drive most speakers to satisfying listening levels.
The TA1 can be operated via the simple front panel controls, or by the included infrared remote control. The intuitive menu system makes the TA1 simple to configure and operate, and the large bright blue VFD display on the front panel is easy to read, and shows you exactly what’s going on at all times. You can match the TA1 with a good pair of speakers for a great sounding stereo system, or use the built-in active crossover to add a separate powered subwoofer to create an audiophile quality 2.1 channel system.
The new BasX TA1 builds on the legacy of our ground breaking TA-100 to bring you the next step in the evolution of affordable audiophile components. The TA1 features upgraded electronics, a streamlined menu system that allows you to tune and program FM stations directly from the remote control, and a sleeker more modern design aesthetic. If you’ve been waiting to experience the flexibility and performance of separate components then now is the time.

Pros
An excellent amplifier, the ratio of price-quality-improving-sound. Assembly and manufacturing quality
Minuses
The only negative is not a direct selection of FM presents, not critical
Review
There are 3 pairs of acoustics: 25 AS-027 “Amphiton”, Alex F100, mission M73.
With the mission, the most "correct" sound.
With Alex F100 Power and pressure, bass
With 25 AS-027 Amphiton, an old kind disco, now works with them in pairs. I’ll see how much the Emotiva power can withstand.

Pros
Expected, quality goods. The presence of Bluetooth.
Minuses
I did not notice the difference between my own phono-corrector and the Audio Technica AT-VP5X built-in vinyl player. The network wire looks frozen, once it is subject to replacement.
Review
The amplifier itself completely suits: good sound, functional, pleasant appearance, low price (cognized in comparison). In addition, there is where to grow, then improve your system based on this stereo -amplifier.

Review
This is my first integral amplifier. He took a pair of Heco Victa Prime 502. During the consultation, three options were proposed, but made the choice on this. The speakers sound perfectly. All functionality works at 5+. I think this is the perfect amplifier for my money.

There were problems with the drivers
Review
This is my first integral amplifier. This review can be useful, like me.
To begin with, I used to listen to through a regular amplifier on TDA. And I thought that this sound would be enough, but how I was mistaken. At the time of the purchase, I had Yamaha - NS6490 (later acquired KEF Q150), even with them I received a completely new level in listening to music. Everything became detailed, "juicy."
About functionality, there is absolutely everything.
I needed only USB from the DAC, because I listen mainly through the computer.
In terms of sound quality, there are no shades to it, the sound is detailed without porridge. The only moment was the problems with the drivers, at of. I did not find the driver’s site.
Having rummaged for a few minutes on the Internet, I eventually found the driver on the forum, I put it and worked.
I use Bluetooth mainly in the morning, there is no shades to it, it clings quickly, Aptx HD holds.
There is a phonor -corrector, but there is no possibility to check its capabilities, I hope I will soon ripen for vinyl.
Eventually:
For your money, you can get a universal decision. Great amplifier with a low book and in my opinion a good tsap
I recommend for the purchase!
