The Ping consist of a hifi CD player and 100 watt solid-state amplifier. Ping is mainly designed to introduce real hifi into 3-in-1 system! LED display, Linear concept CD player, Cool Class A amplifier has been applied using hifi grade components.
Equipped with special made USB input port, you can make one stop connection from any hard discs to your Ping via computer .

Cool Class A technology (applied to Amplifier):
ombined the advantage of class AB and the class A technology, the Cool Class A technology applied to mirror-counteract the difference of individual transistor for the need of identical operating together in amplifier stage. This correction of distortion and intermodulation is so essential that the music signal come through result the same linear, but without normal need of high power consumption, as Class A does.

SpAct TM architecture used in USB interface. It's unique system that recovers the audio clock from USB. Analog pulls with SpAct enable playback with very low clock jitter.
