Chord ANNI

Anni is our first-ever desktop integrated amplifier. Capable of driving both headphones and compact loudspeakers^ Anni benefits from the companys proprietary ULTIMA circuit topology and is perfectly positioned to exploit the full potential of todays high-performance headphones^ desktop monitors and high-resolution audio sources. The new Anni desktop integrated amplifier forms part of the Qutest range and seamlessly complements the resolving abilities of the multi-award-winning Qutest standalone DAC and Huei phono stage. As a system^ the Qutest components provide an unrivalled desktop audio solution^ offering class-leading digital and analogue technologies for the modern music lover. The companys compact QSS (Qutest Stand System) modular equipment rack provides the perfect support^ too. Anni offers the recently announced dual-feed-forward error-correction circuit topology whether using headphones or compact loudspeakers. Annis advanced technology allows it to drive any headphone load^ error-monitored and compensated amplification at all times. Benefitting from both 3.5 mm headphone outputs and -inch (6.35 mm) outputs^ so two can listen simultaneously^ plus 4 mm banana-type loudspeaker outputs^ Anni delivers 10 watts of quality ULTIMA amplification^ controlled by a fascia-mounted volume control that also doubles as an input selector switch for Annis two line-level inputs. A two-stage gain control for loudspeakers provides additional flexibility with a wide range of desktop monitors.
