    Default Pathos Classic Remix Amp,Dac,Headphone amp.

    As above a nearly unused example in black lacquer and with hidac dac.










    Drawing on the company's twenty-year experience in hybrid amplifications, Pathos refined each aspect of the circuitry and carefully selected only the components that met the requirements of high sonic performance resulting in a hybrid Class A/B device with a fully balanced circuit and 70w + 70W power capability. Every effort was made to ensure the amplifier included all the technology necessary to produce high-quality audio, effectively manage digital music files and offer a superior headphone-listening experience.






    Using an oversized laminated transformer, developed in partnership with another key supplier, the final section is fueled through stabilisation and bridge rectification, which combines with the 45k-uF filtering capability of the capacitors. The mechanical relays are watertight and have been specially designed for field audio with all internal contacts sealed under vacuum to prevent any oxidisation which could impede sound quality.

    Designed in consideration of the double triode Valves (Electro Harmonix ECC88 - 6922), the preamp section incorporates a one-tube-per-channel differential configuration in order to apprehend the first signal amplification while maintaining the balanced configuration in a way that allows an unbalanced input signal to be converted into a balanced signal.

    Unlike many integrated amplifiers that use cost-effective solutions and compromises to offer headphone compatibility, the ClassicRemix aims to provide a high-quality performance similar to those of a dedicated amplifier. The Pathos ClassicRemix uses a real amplifier with a strong power supply and fully balanced circuit exploiting the signal from the valve's preamp section which in turn ensures low noise, pure sound and a broad dynamic range. The large bandwidth and generous output power allows easy pairing with most high-quality headphones.

    The digital connections on the rear of the amplifier including a SPDIF, SPDIF Optical, USB Type B and an Ethernet to USB Type A. Ive found the dac to be very good. Its a ess sabre 9018k2m chip.
    The volume control is superb too, and is using burr brown volume controller chips instead of a potentiometer allowing minute adjustments. These are supposed to be top dogs and i see why as they are very adjustable.

    The metal remote is an odd affair with 6 buttons, none marked but you get used to it.

    ive only used it through the edingdales and it did sound fabulous tbh. its several stages up from my last amp, a quad, which was very decent.

    price is good as i got it at a good price new.

    This is one of the nicest amps I have ever seen or heard. The complete package and well worth the £3.5 grand asking price, never mind the £950 Grant is asking for it.

    So sorry you're having to move this, and the Edingdales, on mate. Someone is going to get a bargain here. Just wish I had the money
