Bel Canto e.One C5i DAC Integrated Amplifier

The C5i DAC Integrated Amplifier powers it all: digital analog, USB and Phono MM in one compact, powerful component. Connect your computer, CD player, turntable, cable box or game console, and you’ve got control of an entire media centre in one component.

The C5i converts any source into music while giving you an amazingly compact, cool-running, high output, low-power-usage analog and digital media centre. The most complete integrated amplifier: low jitter, low noise and power isolation delivers the startling dynamics in your music. Compare your analogue collection with your digital all through one component.

Just add a pair of speakers and the listening room is open!

The Bel Canto C5i has an outstanding 115dB dynamic range and our proprietary low-noise D-to-A converters are based on our award-winning DAC circuit design. The C5i has five digital inputs including two RCA, two TOSLINK and one 24/96 USB input. The analog section has one pair of RCA inputs and one pair of RCA Phono MM inputs. The core 24/192 D-to-A converters are based on our Two-Stage Master Reference Ultra-Clock™ circuitry ensuring that jitter from any source is reduced below the audible threshold.

The 24-bit digital volume control is completely transparent and accurate throughout the volume range. The engineering detail that Bel Canto is known for calls for custom 0.1% audio grade resistors, class-A output control circuitry, and low-noise power supply components. The heavy-gauge all-steel chassis design prevents mechanical resonance from compromising the audio signal quality. The stereo amplifier section is based on an elegant switching output stage that eliminates thermal distortion mechanisms caused by changes in operating temperature.

The front panel features a single multifunction control knob that selects inputs and volume level for both the main outputs and ¼” front-panel headphone jack, providing flexibility and control with a simple user interface, easy to read display and full remote control.
