It also got a great review in Stereophile. It is on my personal list of potential replacements for my current integrated amp and standalone DAC. I really enjoy simplicity in my main living area system as my wife uses it as well as me. An integrated amp with a nice DAC is a perfect all in one solution for me.

I saw a few Mark Levinson pieces at the store I visited yesterday in Santa Barbara. Not a ton but a few pieces. They carried a lot of McIntosh, Meridian, Marantz, B&W, Linn, etc. Had some very cool Wilson speakers also...

The new Mark Levinson 585 integrated amplifier looks handsome.
From Australian Hi-Fi: The No 585 is a fully discrete, mirror-imaged dual-monoaural 200-watt per channel integrated amplifier with a high-resolution 32-bit/192kHz D/A converter on board (complete with asynchronous USB input). The power supply and amplifier sections are fully linear, with the output stage using Class AB mode. Volume control is via 15-bit R-2R ladders and there’s a switchable second-order 80Hz crossover to allow seamless integration into 2.1-channel systems. The amplifier/DAC has four analogue inputs, and six digital inputs and the 200-watt per channel rating is into 8 ohms, with the amplifier rated as delivering substantially higher power levels into 4 ohm and 2 ohm loads.

I do agree that it does look nice.
I did hear the No. 52 preamp last year, which is their reference pre. It did sound OK for a SS pre but the speakers were Focal of which have never been at the top of my list thus it was tough for me to really critic this piece. |
