The CSA70 is a stereo integrated amplifier with DAC created for serious music lovers that offers exceptional sound performance for a product of its price. It is equipped with four digital and four analog inputs (including a phono input for moving magnet capsules), an analog line output and a headphone jack for a 6.35 mm connector. With an output power of 2x70 continuous watts into 8 ohms, the CSA70 does not include, unlike its two older brothers, the CSA100 and the CSA150, vacuum tubes in its line stage, where it uses an architecture based on state devices. Solid with extremely low distortion. Likewise, the Copland incorporates the same technology as the aforementioned CSA100/CSA150 in its power amplification section, materialized in a topology in which a feedback scheme is used that is inherently faster than that of conventional amplifiers and with a bandwidth superior that fits perfectly with the needs of new high-resolution digital audio. On the other hand, the robustness of the power subsystem allows the CSA70 to handle the most demanding speakers while exhibiting an excellent ability to handle the transients of all types of recordings.
