Review Summary
The Onkyo A-9070 Integrated Stereo Amplifier offers four discrete modes; integrated amp, power amp, pre-amp and split power/pre-amp to provide great flexibility when incorporating other components into the hi-fi system. Alone, it provides ample power with a parallel push-pull amplification design, three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry, dedicated Wolfson 192kHz/24-bit DACs for symmetrically designed L/R channels and four large 15,000 uF capacitors.
To preserve signal integrity, the unit features DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry). Closed ground-loop circuits and vibration-damping construction combine to produce clear sound across a wide dynamic range. An independent headphone amplifier, a phonograph equalizer and gold-plated audio terminals/speaker posts are evidence of high build quality.
The A-9070 Integrated Stereo Amplifier is for hi-fi newcomers and more seasoned music lovers looking to upgrade their equipment.
