THINKYA DVR-102 Amplifier / Preamplifier

Thinkya unveils a singular device with its DVR-102, a Class AB integrated amplifier based on the use of ECC83/ECC82 tubes for its preamplification stage and Toshiba PNP A1941 and NPN C5198 transistors for its power stage. One of its key features is that it features RCA input and output jumpers, enabling it to be used as a preamplifier or only as a power amplifier. An NJW1194 digital volume control chip offering 60 steps of adjustment completes the package. In addition, a CS8416 digital interface chip enables it to offer various digital inputs, plus Bluetooth 5.0 functionality. Its speaker terminal output is capable of delivering 2x60W into 4 ohm, enabling it to soundtrack a beautiful space. The Thinkya DVR-102 amplifier is as original in its possible uses as it is in its retro-futuristic aesthetic, and will delight many audiophiles.

Thinkya DVR-102: high-performance amplification

As mentioned above, the Thinkya DVR-102 is based on a set of audiophile components. The masterpieces of its preamplification stage are, of course, the two pairs of PSVANE ECC83 and ECC82 tubes, which add roundness and warmth to the final result. The amplification stage is based on Toshiba A1941 and C5198 transistors capable of delivering up to 2x 60W of power under a 4 ohm load, while maintaining a THD of 0.1%.

Thinkya DVR-102: separate preamplifier and power amplifier stage

The Thinkya DVR-102's connectors feature a preamplifier output and a power amplifier input, as well as two jumpers. This allows the Thinkya DVR-102 to be used as an integrated amplifier, preamplifier or power amplifier, making it extremely versatile.

configuration

The jumpers in place allow digital and analog inputs to be used for output to the speaker terminals.

Preamplifier
use

If you remove the jumpers, you can use only the preamplifier stage via the RCA PRE-LINE OUT.

Power amplifier
