All-in-One Convenience with Remarkable Power: USA-Made Bel Canto e.One C6i Integrated Amplifier Can Serve as the Mighty Heart of a High-Performance System
The Bel Canto e.One C6i integrated amplifier follows the highly successful e.One C5i, offering more power, a complete analog signal path, and dedicated digital inputs with up to DSD128 decoding. It is designed with a high-quality internal moving-magnet (MM) analog phono stage and USB2.0, along with S/PIDF and TOS inputs that complete a full range of source management. Plus, there is a dedicated headphone amplifier and output. Featuring 125 watts of power per channel, the C6i is capable of driving practically any loudspeakers with authority. With preamplifier and DAC functionality, as well as a powerful amp, this all-in-one component takes the work out of getting great sound.
The C6i is engineered for audiophile-level performance, and it comes housed in a compact aluminum chassis with six high-quality inputs. Precision circuitry and dedicated signal paths provide incredible detail and resolution for both analog and digital sources.
Under the hood, the HDR Core is the result of more than 20 years of engineering that refines the digital-to-analog process using precision components, including ultra-low-noise master clocks, advanced asynchronous interfaces, and efficient, dual-mode, low-noise power supplies. HDR Core technology enables the C6i to serve as the mighty heart of a high-performance system that can deliver neutral, hyper-realistic, open, and nuanced playback.
The dedicated, low-impedance, high-output headphone design is engineered to drive headphones with clarity and detail. Listeners often have said that they were amazed at the musical depth that C6i can bring to the headphone experience.
The dual-functioning, single knob interface provides easy navigation of the menu. It allows you to select inputs and control the volume. Additionally, the C6i comes with a 36-button infrared remote that controls all functions from up to 30 feet away. Combined with the large LED display, it is extremely easy to access and control all functions. And, of course, the C6i comes with the 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee.
Bel Canto founder John Stronczer said, “Designing the e.One C6i with a custom NCore amplifier gave us the high-power compact amplification that we wanted and the opportunity to take full advantage of NCore’s innovative 5th order loop filter that elevates amplifier technology to literally unheard-of levels of performance. This technology provides ultra-low noise and incredibly low distortion over the entire audio bandwidth—preserving the musical message from source to preamp through amplification, unchanged and with remarkable purity. The Pre/DAC functionality and powerful amplifier, all in one component, is easy to live with and lets you experience the sonic purity from all your music sources.”
